The CEO of astronomer Andy Byron gets viral coverage and backlash after a video of a concert slips out and creates a buzz with general and employee outrage.

Cincinnati-based tech firm Astronomer is facing a possible scandal in the public and within the company following the emergence of a video in which its CEO Andy Byron was engaging in a suspected intimate act with its HR chief Kristin Cabot during a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium.

The video soon went viral, with Byron appearing to shy away from the camera while Cabot turned her back to it, which sparked opinionated chatter among former employees. One former employee who spoke to The New York Post said opinion against Byron was always hostile within the company, with the sales-driven leader behaving in a determinedly toxic way.

It even received an off-key opinion from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin as he quipped partway through the show saying, “Either they are having an affair, or they are both very, very shy.”

During the uproar, another man with the same name, Andy Byron, but unrelated and employed in the video design field, got summoned mistakenly through LinkedIn. He explained the confusion using humor: in his bio he wrote, “NOT THE DUDE WHO PLAYED THE COLDPLAY GIG!”

Byron is now under scrutiny of the public word, as the profile that he had on LinkedIn became a bygone case after the incident. Although the case has received a lot of controversy, in his direction Astronomer just secured 93 million dollars in equity gathering.

This combination of self and work relationships has desensitized the boundaries between personal and social ones in business culture.
