Publicized Incident Sparks Investigation at Astronomer

Kristin Cabot, the head of HR at Astronomer, was recently photographed engaging in an intimate moment with the company’s CEO, Andy Byron, during a Coldplay concert. This incident was captured on the event’s “kiss cam” and quickly went viral, prompting public speculation about their relationship.

Although they share a residence in Rye, New Hampshire, property records reveal Kristin is also married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum. The records indicate they purchased a $2.2 million home together in February of this year. Kristin was previously married to Kenneth Thornby, with their divorce finalized in 2022.

While it remains uncertain whether Kristin and Andrew are officially married, the connection between her and the Privateer Rum executive has garnered attention. Kristin served on the company’s advisory board until September 2020, but her LinkedIn profile has since been deleted.

The viral “kiss cam” incident led to Kristin and Byron being placed on leave immediately. Both have yet to comment publicly on the situation.

In response, Astronomer issued a statement confirming that a formal investigation is underway. The company emphasized its commitment to maintaining a culture of accountability and stated that further details would be provided soon.
