He obtained the big kiss.
Andy Byron resigned on Saturday as CEO of the AI Company of $ 1.3 billion he helped to found, Astronome, only a few days after being surprised canoling with his HR head on an Jumbotron during a Coldplay concert.
“As indicated above, the astronomer has engaged in the values and culture that have guided us since our foundation. Our leaders should establish the standard in conduct and responsibility, and recently, this standard has not been respected,” the company said in a statement on Saturday.
“Andy Byron submitted his resignation and the board of directors accepted.”
The company’s board of directors could have chosen to dismiss Byron, leaving him nothing, said that sources that have noted that resignation was probably his best action plan financially.
Byron, 50, and Kristin Cabot, 52, triggered an almost unknown viral storm when they were desperately seen by Kiss Came while nestling at the concert near Boston on Wednesday evening.
During the time of the deer in the head, Cabot quickly covered his face and Byron quickly died out of sight.
The main singer Chris Martin, thinking that he had taken a tender moment, seemed confused before noticing: “Either they have an affair, or they are very timid.”
Thursday morning, the pair was identified as the high -level CEO and the human resources owner of a technological company.
On Friday – on Friday, a new video emerged from Byron and Cabot locating the lips and embracing at the concert – their amazing fall accelerated, because the two were both on leave while the astronomer said he was investigating the debacle.
Byron began negotiating an exit package after being put on leave on Thursday, Axios reported.
And an interim CEO, the co-founder of the company, Pete Dejoy, a Brooklynite, was appointed.
Byron, estimated between $ 50 and $ 70 million, was paid between $ 469,000 and $ 690,000 per year, but received beautiful bonuses based on performance.
The future of Cabot with the data company led by AI remains uncertain.
The astronomer will begin to seek his next CEO while Dejoy runs the company.
In a cheeky wink with scandal on Friday, Dejoy would have “liked” a LinkedIn post by Zachary Hensley – who was vice -president of technology and operations at Astronomer from 2019 to 2024 – in which Hensley admitted: “Yes, I laughed on the same”.
“Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the data space, helping the data teams to feed everything, from modern analysis to production AI,” said their press release on Saturday.
Here is the last on the CEO surprised to deceive a COLDPLAY JUMBOTRON concert
“If awareness of our business may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not done so.”
The astronomer thrives in the months preceding the incident because he would have collected nearly $ 100 million with large investors and increased rapidly.
Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, 50, deleted their shared surname from his Facebook profile before deleting it completely after being flooded messages on the alleged affair.
Cabot would also be married to the owner of the private rum Andrew Cabot, 60.
The couple was seen in a recent photo posing with two children, with Kristin Cabot seeming to wear an alliance.
A man who responded to the door of the Massachusetts Dome of Kerrigan’s mother refused to comment on Saturday, but a neighbor who knew the family praised them.
“Kerrigans are earth salt, workers and they do not deserve to be dragged in the mud,” the neighbor told post.
Andy Byron, Megan Kerrigan, Kristin Cabot and Andy Cabot could not be joined to comment.
We do not know where the two marriages are following the high -level scandal – before which, it seemed that the two families lived the American dream, with happy family photos and sprawling residences.
Less than five months ago, Cabot and her husband CEO bought a $ 2.2 million ritzy home in the seaside town of Rye, NH.
