Coldplay cheating CEO’s colleague weighs in on scandal

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot were caught in their affair after a cam focused on them during a Coldplay concert.

Former CEO of the company Ry Walker was asked by a user on X to describe what type of person Byron is, and he remarked that he was “professional.”

Now the CEO of Tembo, he said, "[I] answered a couple questions today privately, [but] figure I should post it here as well since I can't respond to everyone individually. I’ve found Andy to be professional, [but] I’ve only ever been on a call with him once."

He added that "everyone on the team" had praised the CEO for his leadership, so it appears that the incident was "an unfortunate development that comes as a big surprise."

After the cam focused on the two, they immediately jumped away from each other to hide their faces, to which Coldplay frontman Chris Martin remarked, "Oh, look at these two. All right, c'mon, you're Ok. Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."

Ironically, their reaction led to the video going viral, their identities being exposed, an investigation being launched by Astronomer and Byron’s resignation.
