Caught on Kiss Cam: Executive and HR Chief Share a Moment at Coldplay Concert

Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer of Astronomer, was recently captured sharing an intimate moment with CEO Andy Byron during a Coldplay concert in Boston. Prior to the incident, Cabot highlighted her professional reputation on her LinkedIn profile, claiming she builds trust with leaders from CEOs to managers through her leadership and culture-building skills.

In a now-viral video, the pair appeared to realize they were on the “kiss cam” and quickly tried to hide their faces, with Byron ducking down to avoid the camera. The clip sparked social media chatter, with a bystander noting, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

Following the incident, Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, deleted her Facebook account after receiving numerous comments about her husband’s behavior, indicating the episode had gained widespread attention.

Additionally, a resurfaced report painted Byron as an aggressive employer, describing instances where he reportedly lashed out at employees who disagreed with him, threatening to fire them during his time at cybersecurity firm Cybereason. These claims were published by a business outlet detailing allegations of an intimidating management style.

In the wake of the viral video, Byron’s wife also removed her married surname from her social media account, and Byron expressed concern on stage, saying, “I hope we didn’t do something bad,” during the concert. The incident has overshadowed the event, drawing attention to the personal lives and professional backgrounds of the high-profile executives involved.
