Andy and Kristin were immersed in Coldplay’s concert until Chris Martin shared that maybe the pair was unaware that their affair video had gone viral. Their faces were worth seeing in the video as Andy was seen behind the barracks, and Kristin was hiding her face with her hands. The video that went viral got 50 million views, reportedly, and a lip reader shared Andy’s words to Kristin when they were caught. According to The Mirror, the lip reader shared that Andy may have said to Kristin:
“F***ing hell, it’s me.”
It is interesting to note that both the Astronomer CEO and Kristin are married. Andy has two kids from his marriage to Megan Kerrigan Byron. Related to Kristin’s marital status, it is said that she was married to Kenneth Thornby, and it was in 2018 that they separated, and in 2022 their divorce was finalised. On the other hand, Andrew Carbot’s name also surfaced, who is believed to be Kristin’s second husband.
When Andy Byron called Kristin Cabot fit for Astronomer
When Kristin joined Astronomer, Andy had kind words to tell about her. Reportedly, he was floored by her exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies, which he found to be critical. He shared:
“As we continue our rapid trajectory, she is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.”

Was Andy Byron a toxic boss?
Now, Astronomer has reportedly suspended Andy after his Coldplay kiss cam clip with the HR head of the company, Kristin, went viral on social media. Well, now reports of his toxic leadership have also come on social media. A report by News 18 shared that Andy was doing mismanagement of the Cybereason startup where he used to work as a chief revenue officer. The report alleged that the employees of the startup did not like him being hired. According to News 18, a former employee had shared:
“Multiple former employees said Mr. Byron would lash out against employees who disagreed with him, including threatening to fire them. ‘You couldn’t challenge him.”
Employees also noted that after Andy was hired, there was a shift in the work culture. Transparency was lacking, and the company was known for the same. When Andy joined, he got a team of salespeople from his earlier company, Fuze. During that time, he denied all the allegations of having strict dealings with staff. He had claimed to have taken strict decisions so that the company could reach a new growth, and for the same, he had to take up some tough decisions. Now, on the other side, his video with Kristin from the Coldplay concert has been blown out of proportion.
