Andy Byron has resigned from his big bucks CEO position of AI company Astronomer just days after he was caught canoodling with his head of HR on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert, setting off a wild internet frenzy.

“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 company said in a statement. “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”

On Thursday, the company said Byron was placed on leave and an interim CEO was named.

Byron and Kristin Cabot sparked a near-unprecendented viral storm when they were seen desperately dodging the kiss cam while cuddling at the concert near Boston Wednesday night.

Gutfeld spent a lot of time on this story a few nights ago. I think he said both were married. He also thought that their mistake was to try to duck out of sight when the spotlight hit them—if they had just stood there no one would have paid attention.

CEO's wife will eventually have more dosh than her dirtball husband. For starters, I bet she's being bombarded with $$$$$$ to air her story on television.

Someone I know very well used to work with the wife and became friends. I'm told the wife is kind, caring, loyal and shouldn't have to suffer the episode and public scrutiny.

How were they both not summarily fired for ethical violations?

If you are a company that does business with them, you trust them to be part of your data pipeline?!?

Seriously?!?

I agree. They should have acted naturally. It’s the coverup that got them. It does every time.

Kristin Byron will voluntarily refrain from sex for a few months.

“In some of the pics they look like they could be related.. **snort** d;^)”

That is one of the main triggers of physical appeal.

Nope? I think you need to be sure if you have a company. I’d hate for you to be fined or worse.
