New Astronomer CEO describes 'unusual and surreal' attention from Coldplay 'kiss cam' scandal
Pete DeJoy stepped into the role of interim CEO after Andy Byron resigned following the circulation of the viral moment at a Coldplay concert last week.
Astronomer's interim CEO, Pete DeJoy, said in an update that the startup had "received a level of media attention that few companies" ever encounter.
Let’s face it: If now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot hadn’t been caught canoodling on camera at a Coldplay concert, it’s unlikely DeJoy would have wound up being named the new CEO, at the company he co-founded a decade ago.
DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.
