A 20-second cuddle at a Coldplay concert turned two anonymous executives into global villains, and a viral cautionary tale about power, privacy, and the wrath of the internet.

Tech executive Andy Byron was caught on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert embracing a woman reported to be his company's chief human resources officer. The woman in question, Kristin Cabot, has subsequently deleted her LinkedIn profile. Newsweek contacted Astronomer for comment via email on Friday outside regular working hours.

Kristin was seen in an unexpected Jumbotron moment at a Coldplay concert in the arms of her boss, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, in July 2025.
