Andy Byron has resigned as CEO of tech firm Astronomer following public backlash sparked by a viral video recorded at a Coldplay concert in Boston, the company confirmed in a statement posted to LinkedIn.

The company said Byron had initially been placed on leave while its board of directors launched a formal investigation into the incident, which occurred during the July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium. The video, which quickly circulated online, shows a man—identified by social media users as Byron—embracing a woman on the stadium’s jumbotron before both abruptly moved out of frame upon realizing they were being filmed. Byron has not publicly addressed the incident.

“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the company wrote in a statement Saturday. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”

The statement continued, “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will now begin the search for our next Chief Executive, while Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”

Astronomer, a New York-based data and AI company, emphasized that its focus remains on serving its customers amid the leadership transition. “We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems,” the company added.

The company’s initial response on Friday noted that leadership at Astronomer is expected to model the values the organization upholds, and that it would share further updates as appropriate. The video and the subsequent fallout sparked widespread online speculation and commentary, prompting the company to act swiftly.

The search for a permanent CEO is now underway.
