Astronomer’s new interim CEO Pete DeJoy is speaking out following the unexpected media attention surrounding a viral Coldplay concert video that led to CEO Andy Byron’s resignation.
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.
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 Andy Byron as Astronomer looks into his alleged affair that was captured on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert this week. DeJoy previously served as Astronomer’s Chief Product Officer, the company said.
