Astronomer Launches Investigation into CEO Andy Byron

Share

Tech company Astronomer is launching an investigation after its CEO, Andy Byron, appeared to be filmed embracing the company's head of HR Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert.
In a statement posted to X, the company said, "The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into the matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly,". It added that "no other employees were in the video" and that reports saying Byron has put out a statement are incorrect.
Founded in 2015, Astronomer builds data management and optimization products used by companies like Activision and Marriott.
Andy Byron came on as CEO in July 2023 after holding C-suite roles at several other software and tech firms. In November 2024, he hired Cabot as the company's head of people.
