Andy Byron, the CEO of astronomer, was caught by camera at what was seemingly an intimate position with the Chief Public Officer of the company at the Coldplay concert in Boston on Wednesday. Byron and his colleague Kristen Cabot were put under the Kiss Cam as part of the performance of the British band. They were spotted together standing like any other couple with the hands of one around the waist of the other (Byron).
In surprise they seemed frightened. Byron wheeled at once, and Cabot made an effort to avert her face.
Shortly afterwards, the wife of the Astronomer CEO, Megan Kerrigan, took her surname off her Facebook page drawing rumors of an impending divorce.
