Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is negotiating an exit package as he and his alleged head-of-HR mistress have been placed on leave after they were spotted canoodling on a Coldplay concert “kiss cam” Wednesday night, according to a report.
The tech company announced Friday that it had launched an investigation – but sources told Axios that Byron and chief people officer Kristin Cabot were immediately placed on leave after the embarrassing viral moment exposed the alleged affair.
The firm’s slow response following the caught-on-camera faux pas stemmed from the alleged two-timing executive stalling his resignation and wrangling over his payout, according to the report.
The nearly two-day silence resulted in parody accounts, fake statements and viral memes as the wild moment exploded on social media – while former employees piled on, describing Byron as a “toxic” boss.
Employees at Astronomer’s Manhattan office told The Post they were directed to keep quiet about the scandal.
“Nope, we’re not allowed to talk about it,” one worker said.
