Astronomer Interim CEO Pete DeJoy addressed the infamous Coldplay “Kiss Cam” scandal that prompted former CEO Andy Byron to resign.
Pete DeJoy became interim CEO of Astronomer after Andy Byron resigned following a viral video at a Coldplay concert that led to an investigation.
Pete DeJoy, the company’s cofounder, is taking over for former CEO Andy Byron as Astronomer looks into his alleged affair that was revealed by the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert Wednesday night. DeJoy previously served as Astronomer’s Chief Product Officer, the company said.
Let’s face it: If now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot hadn’t been caught canoodling on camera at a Coldplay concert, it’s unlikely DeJoy would have wound up being named the new CEO, at the company he co-founded a decade ago.
