Astronomer CEO resigns after viral Coldplay concert incident
Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation and will begin searching for its next CEO, according to the statement.
Following the viral video of Byron, alleged statements from Byron acknowledging the situation began to circulate online. Astronomer said in an earlier LinkedIn post that Byron 'has not put out any statement' and 'reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.' That statement also addressed the misidentification of a third person seen in the clip circulating on the internet in the day following the video's release.
CNN was unable to contact Byron for comment.
On Wednesday, Byron was seen with Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer, on the 'kiss cam' screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before both ducked out of view.
'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said Saturday.
The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that 'awareness of our company may have changed overnight,' but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems.
The company on Friday said Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO.
Byron's LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company's leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO.
Byron is still listed on the company's website as a member of the board of directors.

Opendoor stock pares daily gain to 30% after doubling early Monday as volatility triggers trading halt
Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) stock continued its wild ride on Monday with the stock up about 30% in late afternoon trading, giving up an intraday rally that reached as much as 115% and triggering a volatility-related trading halt in the stock near 3:00 p.m. ET. The stock was halted for 10 minutes Monday afternoon after the stock crossed the Nasdaq's volatility limit, which is triggered when a stock's share price moves too far, too quickly, depending on the per-share value of the stock. The long-beleaguered iBuyer platform saw its share price gain 188% last week, bringing the stock from just above $0.50 less than a month ago to above $4.80. Shares still remain far below their all-time high of $39.24 reached in February 2021. Powering the stock, in part, has been a public bull case from Carvana (CVNA) turnaround spotter EMJ Capital and a ream of speculative bets posted to the subreddit wallstreetbets, a haven for meme stocks, have both added significant fuel to the fire. Retail trading activity in the stock has surged in recent weeks, according to data from VandaTrack. Read more about Opendoor's stock moves and today's market action. Opendoor uses iBuyer real estate technology to buy homes from owners for cash, make light repairs, then flip them back onto the open market to hopefully resell at a profit. Since going public through a SPAC transaction in December 2020, Opendoor has yet to post a profitable quarter. But EMJ Capital principal Eric Jackson — who first gained notoriety for being an early believer in turnaround potential at Carvana — predicted in an X thread laying out his bull case on the stock that it would report its first quarter of positive EBITDA in August and that he sees a price target of $82. The company was served a warning that it faced potential delisting from the Nasdaq in May after trading under $1 for more than 30 days. In June, it settled a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company did not properly disclose its price algorithm's inability to adapt to changes in the housing market. As with meme-stock predecessors GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) during their own retail-frenzied runs throughout 2021, short bets on Opendoor had hit a record level, accounting for more than 25% of the company's float by the end of June.

This assessment was updated in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in additional expense of $1.8 million. We recognized an $8.6 million loss on sale of available-for-sale debt securities in non-interest income during the second quarter of 2025. We reversed a $2.3 million legal reserve from interest expense during the second quarter of 2025. These adjustments to our results are unusual, or infrequent, in nature and are not considered to be part of our non-interest expense, non-interest income and interest expense run rates, respectively. Each of adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders' equity and adjusted efficiency ratio excludes the impact of these items, net of tax, and are all considered non-GAAP financial measures. This press release also contains the non-GAAP financial measures of tangible common stockholders' equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
