The CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, and his colleague Kristin Cabot gained instant notoriety after being featured on a Jumbotron during a Coldplay concert. The audience witnessed a moment where they appeared intimate, causing shock and embarrassment for both. Chris Martin humorously remarked during the concert that they might be having an affair or simply be shy. This moment catapulted Byron's recognition from obscurity to a viral sensation in a mere 48 hours, highlighting how quickly public perception can change in the age of social media.
On Wednesday night, Coldplay played Foxborough in Massachusetts, and a crowd-cam highlighted fans in the audience. Two of these fans were a man with his arms around a woman's waist, who reacted in horror when they flashed up on the Jumbotron.
In just 48 hours, this man has become the internet's main character.
If you had asked pretty much anybody in the world, 'Who is the CEO of the data-operations software tech start-up Astronomer?' at the start of this week, they would have replied with a blank stare.
Chris Martin quipped: 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.'
