Astronomer's HR executive, Kristin Cabot, resigned following a viral video showing her embracing CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert. Byron also resigned after being placed on leave pending an investigation. The video, which prompted numerous memes and online speculation about a relationship between the two, led to the removal of both individuals' profiles from the company website. Astronomer, a data organization platform company, saw a 20% increase in Coldplay song streams after the incident.
