Tech company CEO resigns after controversy over video captured at Coldplay concert
Briefly

Andy Byron resigned from his position as CEO of Astronomer Inc. following controversy stemming from a video shown at a Coldplay concert. The company stated that their leaders must uphold values and accountability, which Byron did not meet. Previously, he had been placed on leave while an investigation was launched into the incident. A video captured at the concert caused speculation about Byron and Astronomer's chief people officer. Pete DeJoy, the cofounder and chief product officer, has been appointed as interim CEO during the search for a new leader.
Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy, joked Chris Martin, referring to an unexpected couple on the big screen during the Coldplay concert.
