Kristin Cabot, the head of HR at Astronomer, has resigned following the fallout of being caught being intimate with the software company’s CEO on the “jumbotron” at a Coldplay concert.
“Kristin Cabot is no long with Astronomer — she’s resigned,” a representative told TMZ.
It comes less than a week after CEO Andy Byron resigned from his post.
“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” a statement released online at the time read.
“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the company’s statement released Saturday reads.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
Social media went into meltdown after footage circulated showing two people – later identified as Byron and Cabot – awkwardly jumping out of each other’s arms as they flashed up on a “kiss cam” during the band’s show in Boston Wednesday night.
In its statement following Byron’s departure, Atronomer also moved to quash rumors online that other employees were at the concert with the duo, and thus knew about the affair.
“Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video,” the company wrote in its statement.
