The story of former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron is one that's captivated the world, but there are still some missing pieces. The tech startup has spoken out about the moment Byron and a woman identified as chief HR officer Kristin Cabot were caught in an embrace on Coldplay concert jumbotron.
Astronomer confirmed the CEO's departure in a statement that read: "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met."
Byron has since nuked his LinkedIn account and gone to ground, although there are questions about where his wife is.
An account belonging to Meg Kerrigan Byron apparently dropped the final part of her name and then quickly vanished altogether. According to the Daily Mail, Byron's wife is currently hiding out in a $2.4 million mansion as she waits for things to blow over.

The outlet claims that Megan has been accompanied by several family members, with the 50-year-old leaving her and Byron's $1.4 million abode in Northborough, Massachusetts.
She's now said to have set up shop in the $2.4 million mansion some 106 miles away in Kennebunk, Maine.
Although Kerrigan is yet to speak publicly about the viral incident being caught on camera, family photos from hiking trips and graduations were supposedly deleted before her Facebook went dark.
As the world waits for her eventual statement, Kerrigan is supposedly hiding out in the four-bedroom property that measures 4,169 square feet and includes four bathrooms. More than enough room for the multiple family members who have been visiting over the weekend.
Local residents said they thought Byron's actions were 'disgusting' but agreed the family deserves privacy right now. One told the Daily Mail: "Everyone has seen it but the family do not want to talk about it."
New social media accounts keep popping up claiming to be Kerrigan, although it looks as though these are just more fakes like the statement a faux Byron made shortly after the incident.
Elsewhere, the Daily Mail maintains Cabot is married to a man called Andrew Cabot, the CEO of a Massachusetts-based liquor company called Privateer Rum.
Some have been connecting the dots, pointing to a November 2024 post where Byron said Cabot was the 'perfect fit' for Astronomer: "Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,' he said in a press release at the time.
"She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer."
Neither Andrew Byron nor Kristin Cabot has been spotted since they were caught in 4K, although Astronomer said both had been put on leave ahead of his resignation.
