The Chief Executive of New York-based tech company Astronomer, Andy Byron, has resigned from his role after he was spotted embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert.

According to a statement released by the company one Saturday and seen by CNN, its board of directors accepted Byron’s resignation and will begin searching for its next CEO.

Following the viral video of Byron, alleged statements from Byron acknowledging the situation began to circulate online.

Astronomer said in an earlier LinkedIn post that Byron “has not put out any statement” and “reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.”

That statement also addressed the misidentification of a third person seen in the clip circulating on the internet in the day following the video’s release.

“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 Saturday.

On Wednesday, Byron was seen with Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief people officer, on the “kiss cam” screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before both ducked out of view.

Coldplay was performing “The Jumbotron Song” when the camera turned to both of them cuddling as they watched the stage.


The two quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces, with the man ducking down, when they noticed they were on a giant screen at the venue.

“Whoa, look at these two,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that “awareness of our company may have changed overnight,” but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems.

The company on Friday said Astronomer’s co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the statement said in part, adding that the company’s board of directors “has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

Byron’s LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company’s leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO.

Byron is still listed on the company’s website as a member of the board of directors.

Wike intends to deceive Peter Obi and use him to remain relevant in two ways.

1. Allow Peter Obi to run under LP & emerge as LP candidate then disqualify him close to election using Abure thanks to his bribed Supreme Court justices.

2. Lure Peter Obi to PDP with the hope of a superior political structure and financial backing to LP's then play PO like he played Atiku.

His recent expulsion threat is a ruse and once Peter Obi falls for it, Wike will be reinstated to finish him off. If Obi doesn't decamp willingly, Wike may also decide to expel himself from PDP, join Abure's LP faction to smoke Obi out of LP into PDP and once Obi is in PDP, decamp again from LP to PDP to finally end Obi.


The 2 scenarios above automatically give Wike strong leverage against Tinubu and allow him to be seen as a "string puller" especially since Peter Obi is considered a deadlier foe than Atiku due to his organic followership.

Wike can then bargain with Tinubu using either option to remain in power post-2027.

He was not behaving like a married man. He was even angry someone took the picture 😂

And what about the employee, why is all the attention on only the man

WickedAfonja:
This was posted right before the Peter Obi Dilemma thread but deleted by Seun/Mynd to protect Wike...

Wike knows he is finished.
No leverage against Tinubu means he is desperate.

He is at Tinubu's mercy right now and he doesn't like it. Tinubu can fire him and that will be his end. Tinubu can also make Fubara delay his peace deal in time to rearrange Rivers.

-Checkmated by Tinubu in Rivers
-Checkmated by Atiku in PDP

The man is gone

His final move? Peter Obi.
Let me explain...





The final nail to Wike's coffin will be if Peter Obi officially decamps to ADC the only problem with that is whether Atiku is willing to step down for him.

The moment Atiku signs a deal with Peter Obi for 2027, Wike and Tinubu are gone.

Few minutes of enjoyment caused him whole life of embarrassment.. Any man who is not cautious of women is a fool. He will leave to regret this,even if he was having an affair with her while doing it in public despite having a good wife at home who has been so supportive him.. I pray he heal from this..

Very, very, very, very interesting. Very interesting!😃

Why will he resign over infidelity
How does that affect his job performance or competence
Oyinbos are weirdly wired
