Pete DeJoy stepped into the role following the scandal, and said the viral incident has received "a level of media attention that few companies - let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world - ever encounter".
He wrote on LinkedIn: "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name."
DeJoy added that despite the chaos, the company has "never shied away from challenges" - from the Covid-19 pandemic to navigating financial issues.
He continued: "And yet, we're still here.
"We're here because Astronomer is built by people who live to solve hard problems, stay late to fix what's broken, and care deeply about doing things the right way.
"We're here because our customers trust us with their most ambitious data & AI projects. And, most importantly, we're here because the mission is bigger than any one moment."

B&M selling 'cheap yet practical' solution for common home and garden problem
People had different ideas about how this piece of storage could help inside and outside their homes B&M shoppers have found a 'cheap yet practical' solution to many storage problems around the home and garden. The £20 'bargain' is available in stores, and its plastic material makes it easy to withstand the British weather. Plus, it can be set up to suit any space you need to fill if you are running low on storage but want something 'simple and stylish'. The Spaceways Six-Tier Shelving Unit can be configured in two different ways. Shoppers could stack the units on top of each other to form a two-tiered look that measures 151cm tall. Or, they could create three different heights of shelving—set up to be shorter but fill a wider space. Right now (as of July 23), the shelf is available in B&M stores as a Special Buy offer for just £20. The plastic piece of homeware, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, has a 'low stock' warning online. It cannot be ordered or reserved online, so shoppers will need to head to the closest B&M shop and check the aisles for this deal. The online branch locator can help people find the nearest B&M store. Nishz, who is a member of the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, put up a post about the unit having bought a ton for their garden. They wrote: "I think this is a good little buy from B&M. As it's plastic, thought it would be perfect for outdoor shelving." In the picture they added for the group, Nishz had set the unit up on the patio and added some plants. The bottom opening offered a handy place to stash the garden hosepipe as well. One person replied: "Oooo I love the way you've put it together! Looks so good!" People were quick to respond with their own ideas for the unit - and planned to travel to their nearest B&M to take advantage of the deal. Someone put: "Need this for my office!" Another suggested: "That would be good in my catio!" A third suggested: "Might make a nice drinks table?" There was another idea, as a Facebook user posted: "Lovely. Something for the plants in my garden I think." And, one more said: "This could be good to use as shelving in a shed." In other B&M news, shoppers recently spotted something new and exciting in the sweet treat aisle. KitKat fans were keen to snap up two new flavours of the delightful chocolate bar, which are only in B&M stores. Over the years, various flavours of the beloved chocolate bar have delighted fans - and now two new flavours are currently creating a storm of interest. Popular foodie account New Foods UK shared an image of the two new bars - Honeycomb Buzz and Gold Crush - across social media after they were seen at the discount store.

Black Sabbath pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne following death
Black Sabbath members have been honouring their late bandmate Ozzy Osbourne in a series of tributes. Osbourne died yesterday (July 22) at the age of 76 with his family at his side and 'surrounded by love'. The band's bassist Terence 'Geezer' Butler has said he was 'so glad' the band reunited with Osbourne one final time, just a few weeks ago. In a post on Instagram, Butler paid tribute to his long-time bandmate and friend, reflecting on their last performance together during a farewell concert at Birmingham's Villa Park earlier this month. 'Thanks for all those years- we had some great fun. 4 kids from Aston- who'd have thought, eh?' he captioned an Instagram post. 'So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you.' The emotional tribute came as bandmates Bill Ward and Tony Iommi also expressed their grief. Iommi, the band's guitarist, said he was 'devastated' by the news. 'It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words, there won't ever be another like him,' he wrote on Instagram. 'Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.' Ward, Black Sabbath's drummer, posted a photo of himself and Osbourne on X, writing: 'Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls… no, you're forever in my heart.' Black Sabbath went on to become one of the most influential and successful metal bands of all time, selling more than 75 million albums worldwide. The group were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and Osbourne was added for a second time last year. What was Ozzy Osbourne diagnosed with? In 2020, Osbourne revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and he paused touring in 2023 after extensive spinal surgery. He had a fall at home in 2019, which aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003, stopping his No More Tours 2 shows from going ahead in Europe and the UK. The tour had previously been rescheduled several times because of illness, the Covid-19 pandemic and logistical issues. He told Good Morning America in January 2020 that it was discovered he had the neurodegenerative disorder after a fall. He said: 'I did my last show New Year's Eve at The Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves and I found out that I have a mild form.'

He already has two sons, Pascal and Raoul, from his previous marriage Sweet Surprise British rock legend, 63, reveals wife, 38, is pregnant with their first baby together in romantic bump snap Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITISH rock legend Roland Orzabal has revealed his wife Emily Rath Orzabal is pregnant with their first baby together. Tears for Fears musician Roland, 63, and photographer Emily, 38, announced the news with a romantic Instagram post showing off her baby bump, simply captioned with a red heart emoji.

The couple privately tied the knot in 2020, saying 'I do' on top of Aspen Mountain in Colorado after the pandemic forced them to cancel their original wedding plans. Reflecting on the moment, Emily shared: 'We had to postpone our original wedding date in September 2020 because of Covid. 'I felt as all corona brides have been feeling: angry, sad, gypped, and confused as to when we should have a wedding. 'Roland and I were in the States for work. We desperately wanted to get married, even just legally, and so to honour our original date, we secretly eloped, just the two of us, atop a mountain in Aspen. It was the most magical moment of my life. 'It breaks my heart that my family could not be there to see it, but no one wanted to risk their safety. 'Two weddings was never my dream, but we adapted, separating the legal wedding from the celebratory wedding to come.' She went on to say: 'In September we were able to use the autumnal flowers we'd originally wanted, and next year we can have all of the spring flowers! 'We got married at 11,212 ft high on Aspen Mountain, whereas next year will be inside an incredible venue. 'I wore a stunning Amanda Wakeley dress, which flowed in the wind so beautifully, and next year I will be wearing Phillipa Lepley. Tears For Fears - Mad World music video 'I still don't feel as though I've had a wedding, because it was just the two of us, and it was a secret. We have yet to have a first dance or a honeymoon! 'But, six months into marriage, I am so happy, and cannot wait to marry Roland again next year, with all of our favourite people around us. We've been planning that one for a very very long time, so it should be extraordinary!' The following year, the pair celebrated with a bigger wedding surrounded by loved ones at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Roland already has two sons, Pascal and Raoul, from his previous marriage to Caroline, who sadly died in 2017 at the age of 54 following a battle with alcoholism-related dementia and cirrhosis. After Caroline's death, Roland told The Irish Times his world 'sort of fell apart in 2018,' and he later sought help in rehab. Those personal struggles went on to inspire the band's 2022 album The Tipping Point. Last October, Tears for Fears released a track titled Emily Said, prompting Emily to write on Instagram: 'It's a good day for Emilys around the world because @tearsforfearsmusic just released a song about us.' Roland remains one half of Tears for Fears, alongside bandmate Curt Smith. The iconic duo are best known for hits like Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Head Over Heels. 5 The couple privately tied the knot in 2020 Credit: Instagram 5 Roland remains one half of Tears for Fears, alongside bandmate Curt Smith Credit: Getty - Contributor
