Andy Byron, the chief executive of New York-based tech company Astronomer, has resigned from his role after he was spotted embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert, according to a LinkedIn post from the company on Saturday.

Astronomer CEO Byron was shown romantically holding his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, at a recent Coldplay concert.

During the concert cameras pointed to a man with gray hair later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron hugging a woman, later identified as Kristin Cabot. Once they noticed they were being seen on camera, the two immediately darted in opposite directions as lead singer Chris Martin suggested the two were either shy or having an affair.

Alongside Byron and Cabot, Stoddard's name started doing the rounds as users claimed she knew of the alleged affair.
