Astronomer CEO Andy Byron has resigned from the company amid an affair with his company's chief people officer at a Coldplay concert. Astronomer, the technology company that faced backlash after its CEO was allegedly caught in an affair at a Coldplay concert, said the CEO has resigned, the company announced Saturday.

A tech company whose boss was filmed hugging a colleague at a Coldplay concert has said a purported statement from him expressing remorse is fake.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned after a video of him sharing cozy moments with HR Head Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert went viral. The board appointed co-founder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO. Cabot continues as Chief People Officer while the company seeks Byron's replacement.
