The Astronomer CEO caught getting cozy with a coworker at a Coldplay concert on Tuesday has resigned in disgrace amid an investigation into the scandal.
Andy Byron, 50, who was spotted on camera at the concert with his arms wrapped around the company's HR chief Kristin Cabot, stepped down after being placed on leave on Friday.
The billion-dollar company announced the CEO's resignation in a statement on Saturday.
'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the statement said.
'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.'
Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will stay on as interim CEO.
'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.'
