The former Astronomer CEO who launched to viral infamy in July for his Coldplay concert “kiss cam” moment, has swiftly sold his luxury residence.
Andy Byron’s full-floor condominium, located on Washington Street, closed for $5.8 million, with the deed appearing in municipal records Nov. 18, Crain’s New York Business reported. Byron and his wife, Megan, bought the condominium in 2022 for $5.4 million from the building’s developer, Veracity Partners.

The residence spans 2,800 square feet in the Tribeca neighborhood, featuring four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and an open kitchen equipped with a wine refrigerator, Crain’s said. It has a primary bedroom suite with a walk-in closet, and a living room with exposed brick walls.
The deal closed quickly without any public listing, Crain’s reported. The couple had a signed contract on Sept. 16, Crain’s reported citing the deed, which was approximately two months after the concert incident. The couple finalized the sale on Nov. 6.
Charlotte Tenorio and Patrick Smith, both appearing to work as corporate lawyers based on public records, purchased the property, Crain’s reported.
Byron’s departure from Astronomer and his Manhattan home comes after the married executive was filmed July 16 embracing the company’s chief people officer, Kristin Cabot. Despite the public controversy, the Byrons currently share an address at a colonial-style residence in Northborough, Massachusetts, Crain’s reported citing public records.

Cabot submitted divorce paperwork on Aug. 13, however, a spokeswoman for her husband had previously told People magazine that the pair had already separated before the concert took place.
Astronomer launched an investigation into the “kiss cam” incident at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts in July, suggesting the intimate relationship between Byron and Cabot was unknown to the firm’s board.
“Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,” the company later said in a statement posted on LinkedIn, reiterating Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy as interim CEO.

Astronomer, established in 2015, focuses on streamlining interactions with artificial intelligence applications. Byron had taken the helm in 2023, and the firm relocated from Cincinnati to New York in 2024.
Under Byron’s leadership, and just weeks before the “kiss cam” incident, the company completed a Series D funding round in May worth $93 million, attracting investments from Bain Capital Ventures LLC and Salesforce Ventures LLC.
Just days before the incident, Astronomer announced July 10 a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services. The partnership allows customers to modernize their infrastructure and data platforms while “keeping costs low” and “without disruption,” Chief Revenue Officer Michael Haas said in a statement.
Under DeJoy’s leadership, Astronomer last month announced Astro Private Cloud, targeting organizations with heightened security and compliance requirements. The company now positions itself as meeting customers at their preferred deployment model, DeJoy said in a statement.
