The CEO ot tech firm Astronomer, who was caught on a kiss cam with a co-worker during a Coldplay concert, has resigned.
Andy Byron tendered his resignation to the company after being caught in an intimate embrace with a woman understood to be a co-worker, Kristin Cabot, during the concert in Boston.
Viral footage showed the moment Byron and his company’s Chief People Officer jumped out of each other’s arms as they flashed up on a "kiss cam" segment during the band’s show.
In a statement, a representative for the tech company admitted his actions fell short of standards.
"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," they told Page Six.
"Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.
"The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."

Immediately following the awkward moment, Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, 48, joked into his microphone: "Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy."
He then expressed remorse over unintentionally calling them out: "Oh s**t, I hope we didn't do something bad."
