CNBC AI News, July 20th – A Coldplay concert in Boston turned into an unexpected internet sensation after a video of a couple seemingly trying to avoid the spotlight went viral.
The footage shows the pair in what appeared to be an intimate embrace before quickly separating as the camera focused on them.
Adding fuel to the fire, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin playfully quipped, “They’re either having an affair, or they’re just really shy.”
The viral video led internet sleuths to identify the couple as Andy Byron, CEO of U.S. tech company Astronomer, and Christine Cabot, the company’s Head of Human Resources.
Adding a layer of complexity, reports indicate Byron is married with two children, while Cabot reportedly divorced in 2022. The optics weren’t ideal, to say the least.
Today, Astronomer announced in a statement that CEO Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted by the board of directors.
The board will initiate a search for a permanent CEO. In the interim, co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will serve as interim CEO. Astronomer, which specializes in data orchestration, had been making inroads in the competitive data analytics space.
The company’s statement also pointedly noted that “leaders are expected to set a standard for conduct and accountability, and that standard was not recently met.” This signals a clear message about the board’s position on the matter.
Coldplay, meanwhile, is taking a proactive approach, responding with a touch of humor and a dash of privacy advocacy: “Starting with our next show, we’ll be offering camera-free audience zones.”
