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.

Can you really trust someone who has a first name for his surname?
In some of the pics they look like they could be related.. **snort** d;^)
Hanky Panky was the title of a song by Tommy James and the Shondells (1966). Not sure if canoodling has a song though.
My sarcasm and satire are sometimes misunderstood. 😇
Sorry.
I remember the Hanky Panky song at #1 in the US and the UK in 1966.
Forgot that Madonna had a cover that was #10 in 1990.
Be sure your sin will find you out.
She’s the head of HR...she more than anyone knows the rules about such behavior. She needs to get the hook.
I’m guessing he made the hard decision to pull out of management.
Yep.
His cheatin’ heart (and, the Kiss Kam) told on him.

If they’d have just acted normal, it would have never gone viral. Then again, if they’d not been cheating, it would not have gone viral, either.
She can claim she was coerced by her supervisor. He’s the CEO. It’s not a matter of not knowing the rules, it’s legalese. She can skate or she will get a big payout from the company. it’s cheaper to let her stay on and move on.
I understand. We are a misunderstood group.
The head of HR is the one who should know better. How can she do her job after this? Companies need to ditch HR anyway. I would never have an HR dept at my shop.

That is definitely boobie-canoodling.
