The shocking affair between CEO Andy Byron and HR director Kristin Cabot is still a hot topic on social media. A clip of the two being caught being intimate at a recent Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium (Boston, USA) has spread at a dizzying speed. Many netizens flooded the personal accounts and the company where the couple works, asking them to speak up.

Very quickly after that, an announcement spread on social media – it was said that CEO Andy Byron had apologized, sharing his first words after his shocking scandal.

Accordingly, in the above text, Andy Byron admitted his personal mistakes, apologized and called for respect for privacy: “I want to sincerely apologize to my wife, my family and the team at Astronomer. Everyone deserves better from me – as a partner, father and leader”

This is not who I want to be, nor who I want to represent the company I helped build. I am taking time to reflect, take responsibility, and determine my next steps – both personally and professionally. I ask for your privacy during this time.”

At the same time, the apology, written under the name Andy Byron, also expressed concern that a private moment was made public: “I also want to express my concern that a moment that should have been private was made public without my consent. I respect artists and entertainers, but I hope we can all think more deeply about the impact of turning other people’s lives into a farce.”

However, this sharing is becoming the “focus” that makes many netizens angry, thinking that he is blaming the event for his behavior of filming and sharing private moments, instead of completely admitting his adultery.

“Expressing concern when a moment that should have been private was made public without consent – this is probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard”, “Why not apologize sincerely and blame others”, “Apologizing makes you even more of a joke” ,… are comments from netizens on the X platform.

Currently, this apology is still spreading at a dizzying speed, with a series of news sites reposting this share. However, it also emphasized that the authenticity of the above apology is currently unknown. “It could be fake,” commented the Hindustan Times.

Because, after the incident exploded on social networks, Andy Byron hid/deleted his accounts.

Currently, neither Andy Byron nor his company has commented on the above apology. The US media has also not confirmed whether this relationship has any impact on the company’s internal affairs or CEO Andy’s married life.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Byron served as President of Lacework from 2019 to 2022, and then as an interim advisor to the company. From 2017 to 2019, he served as Chief Revenue Officer of Cybereason. Additionally, Byron served as President and COO of Fuze, and held leadership positions at Vericenter and BMC Software.

Since July 2023, Byron has been CEO of Astronomer – a data infrastructure technology startup, developing the Astro platform to help businesses manage data flows and deploy AI more easily. The company’s headquarters are currently in New York.

Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron and the couple have two children together. Both keep a low profile on social media.
