Astronomer's ex-Head of People was placed on leave pending investigation after the Coldplay debacle. Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot's alleged extra-marital affair became public after they were spotted in a romantic moment at the Coldplay concert in Boston on July 16. Andrew Cabot, Kristin Cabot's husband, was reportedly on a business trip in Japan when the scandal blew up. Reports also alleged that Kristin and Andrew were having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating. However, the couple recently bought a $2.2 million mansion in Rye, New Hampshire. In May, they were seen smiling and posing as a happy family with two young kids in one of their Facebook posts.

Post Andy Bryon's resignation, the company posted a written statement on its LinkedIn profile stating that its leaders “are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.” The statement said that Andy Byron had offered his resignation as CEO and that the board of directors had accepted it. Byron had been placed on leave on Friday, and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is serving as the interim CEO.
