‘He is a Toxic….’ Former Employees of Astronomer Breaks Silence on CEO Andy Byron’s Kiss Cam Moment
Andy Byron, CEO of $1.3 billion tech firm Astronomer, is facing major backlash after a viral video showed him cuddling HR head Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert when the infamous ‘kiss cam’ landed on them.
The awkward moment—Byron ducking and Cabot covering her face—has fueled cheating allegations.
Now, former employees are speaking out, branding him a “toxic boss” with a history of aggressive behavior.
A former colleague told the press that ex-staff are “laughing their a** off” at the exposure, claiming Byron often lashed out at employees who disagreed with him.
This isn’t the first time Byron’s leadership style has been questioned.
A 2018 report also cited similar complaints during his stint at Cybereason.
Byron denied all such claims back then, attributing criticism to “difficult decisions.” As the scandal spreads across social media, the spotlight intensifies on corporate ethics, workplace culture, and personal boundaries.

AI company Astronomer was rocked by scandal this week after CEO Andy Byron and HR chief Kristin Cabot were caught in an awkward kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert. Trying to dodge the spotlight, the two tech execs sparked viral chaos online — and major fallout offline. Within days, Byron resigned under pressure, while Cabot was placed on leave as the company launched a full-blown investigation.
The scandal was amplified when a second video surfaced showing the pair kissing and embracing. The affair has sent shockwaves through the tech world, especially as both parties are married. Interim CEO Pete DeJoy has stepped in, and Astronomer is trying to move forward after the PR nightmare. The drama, however, continues to unfold, with speculation swirling about the future of both execs’ careers — and their marriages.
