CEO caught in an affair at Coldplay concert hall...In the end, resignation



The CEO of a U.S. IT company, whose affair was revealed at the concert site of the band Coldplay, eventually resigned.

According to major U.S. media such as CNBC and CNN on the 19th (local time), Andy Byron, CEO of data management company Astronomer, submitted his resignation, and the company's board of directors officially announced that it had accepted it.

During a Coldplay concert in Boston, Massachusetts, on the 16th, Byron was caught on a 'Kiss Cam' electronic board with a woman in charge of human resources at the same company.




When the image of the woman's back was broadcast on the electronic display, he hurriedly pulled himself away and covered his face and looked embarrassed.

Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin, who was at the scene, saw it and joked "You two are having an affair or you are shy" and the scene spread quickly through social media and TikTok and spread worldwide.

In particular, Internet users continued to track their personal information, and the people were identified, and there were a flurry of demands for the dismissal of CEO Byron.




Eventually, Astronomer announced his resignation, saying "The perception of us changed overnight, but our responsibilities to our customers and products remained the same." This incident has attracted Astronomer's worldwide attention in an unexpected way.
