Coldplay accidentally reveal tech CEO\u2019s \u2018affair\u2019 with firm\u2019s HR director on kiss cam<\/p>\n
The Astronomer HR exec spotted in the arms of a colleague at a Coldplay concert last week has resigned.<\/p>\n
Kristin Cabot was seen on the big screen embracing CEO Andy Byron, before ducking with her head in her hands at the band\u2019s Boston show.<\/p>\n
A few days ago, Mr Byron resigned, with Pete DeJoy appointed as interim CEO.<\/p>\n
In a statement, tech firm Astronomer confirmed that Cabot has now also stepped down as chief people officer.<\/p>\n
In the viral footage, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin joked: \u201cEither they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re very shy,\u201d as the pair attempted to hide from the camera.<\/p>\n
The duo were quickly identified by US media in the clip, with both reported to be in existing relationships.<\/p>\n
Astronomer said in a statement: \u201cAstronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tech firm also said that no other employees were present at the gig, following reports claiming one other staff member had been in attendance.<\/p>\n
Mr DeJoy said this week that the firm has seen \u201can unusual and surreal\u201d amount of attention since the incident.<\/p>\n
He said said: \u201cThe events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies – let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world – ever encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Concertgoers in Boston were given a heads up before the kiss cam was launched around the stadium.<\/p>\n
Martin announced: \u201cWe\u2019d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd. How we\u2019re gonna do that is we\u2019re gonna use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo please, if you haven\u2019t done your makeup, do your makeup now!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coldplay accidentally reveal tech CEO\u2019s \u2018affair\u2019 with firm\u2019s HR director on kiss cam The Astronomer HR exec spotted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,12770,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-22938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-latest-news-ticker","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
