Let’s face it: If now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot hadn’t been caught canoodling on camera at a Coldplay concert, it’s unlikely DeJoy would have wound up being named the new CEO, at the company he co-founded a decade ago.

Astronomer's new CEO is speaking out about the Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy, admitting the viral video has raised brand awareness for the tech firm.

Pete DeJoy took over following former CEO Andy Byron’s resignation after he was captured on a “kiss cam” with a fellow Astronomer employee, who is not his wife, at a Coldplay concert.

Astronomer Interim CEO Pete DeJoy addressed the infamous Coldplay “Kiss Cam” scandal that prompted former CEO Andy Byron to resign.

When the KissCam at a Coldplay concert last week landed on a couple who suspiciously escaped their embrace and tried (but failed) to duck out of the spotlight, the internet immediately got to work.

Kristin Cabot, caught in a viral embrace with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, appears to be married to Privateer Rum founder Andrew Cabot, a member of a prominent Boston family.

The Astronomer CEO resigned after a Coldplay concert kiss cam caught him in an awkward moment. We are obsessed with it. Why?
