Tech boss quits after viral 'kiss cam' video at Coldplay concert
Andy Byron, the boss of New York-based firm Astronomer, was seen with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer, on the 'kiss cam' screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts,
When they saw themselves on the big screen, the pair quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces.
'Whoa, look at these two,' Coldplay singer Chris Martin said. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'
Mr Byron has now quit the data infrastructure company, according to a LinkedIn post from the company on Saturday.
Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation, according to the LinkedIn post, and will begin searching for its next CEO.
The company added: '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 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.
Mr 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.
Mr Byron is still listed on the company's website as a member of the board of directors.

Female HR exec caught on Coldplay cam resigns after embrace with CEO went viral
The female executive who was caught on camera embracing the CEO of her company at a Coldplay concert in a moment that went viral has resigned, according to news reports. Multiple news outlets reported that Kristin Cabot, the executive in charge of human resources at tech company Astronomer, has resigned. Her departure follows the resignation of CEO Andy Byron, who quit after the company said he was being put on leave pending an investigation. The episode resulted in endless memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds Cabot and Byron were caught by surprise when singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his 'Jumbotron Song' during the concert last week at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. They were shown cuddling and smiling, but when they saw themselves on the big screen, Cabot's jaw dropped, her hands flew to her face and she spun away from the camera while Byron ducked out of the frame. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked in video that spread quickly around the internet. When the video first spread online it wasn't immediately clear who they were, but online sleuths rapidly figured out their identities. The company has previously confirmed the identities of the couple in a statement to the AP. Both of their profiles have been now removed from Astronomer's website and a November press release announcing her hiring has also been deleted. Astronomer was a previously obscure tech company based in New York. It provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Montreal over Miami: Patriotic Canadians change summer vacation plans
TORONTO, July 25 (Reuters) - Canadians are trading their annual vacation south of the border for road trips around Ottawa, the midnight sun in Yukon, whale watching in Nova Scotia or hiking in Banff. The newfound desire to stay local started earlier this year when U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to annex Canada and imposed a series of tariffs on Canadian goods, spurring a 'Buy Canadian' movement to boycott U.S. businesses and avoid traveling to the U.S. London, Ontario-based Guess Where Trips sells curated mystery road trip packages in four Canadian provinces and reported a 75% increase in sales of trips across the country so far this year from a year ago. "It is clear that more Canadians are choosing to explore small businesses and hidden gems close to home, rather than crossing the border for their holidays and vacations," operations manager Jessica Bax said. Road trips around Ottawa are among their most popular packages, Bax said, as more Canadians explore their capital city. Prime Minister Mark Carney has also made a pitch for Canadians to take advantage of a new "Canada Strong" pass that grants free or discounted access to several national parks, historic sites and museums this summer. "Canadians are making choices to visit this great country, spend time here with their family, with their friends. They're making choices to buy Canadian products," he said in a press briefing in Huntsville, Ontario on Tuesday. The discount pass contrasts with Trump ordering higher entrance fees at U.S. national parks for visitors from other countries. A Bank of Canada survey this week showed that 55% of Canadians plan to spend less money vacationing in the United States this year while 35% said they would spend more on traveling within Canada. A survey by TD Bank showed 64% of Canadians polled planned to travel within the country, mirroring an increase in domestic flight bookings. Canadian domestic tourism spending rose 4% in the first quarter this year from a year earlier, said Destination Canada, a government agency that promotes Canadian tourism. The number of flight return trips from the United States made by Canadians fell 17% in May from a year earlier, while the number of such trips made by car fell by 37% that month, according to Statistics Canada. Walter Flower, who operates whale watching tours in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, said he has been busier this year as more people exploring the UNESCO World Heritage town booked a 45-minute ocean adventure hoping to spot whales off the east coast. Divya Mohan, a communications specialist in Toronto, says she had initially planned to go to Texas this year but instead opted to explore the city of Winnipeg in Manitoba. "It just felt like the timing wasn't right... may be in the future," Mohan, 39, said of her trip in April. "Winnipeg is just one more destination in Canada to explore," Mohan said, coming away impressed with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. On the west coast in British Columbia, RVs have gained popularity, said Storm Jespersen, a regional manager at family-owned tourism firm Evergreen Hospitality Group. "This year is going to be the busiest year in our company's history across our 26 properties... it's so busy, I don't think you can even rent one (RV) very easily right now," said Jespersen. Traveling in Canada can be expensive as domestic flights to remote locations often cost more than traveling to the United States or even Europe. But travelers have found ways to do it cheaper - through road trips or by hunting for discounts. "Doing road trips or just weekend trips to a cabin nearby is a great way to switch things up without spending thousands of dollars to fly a family of four across the country and back," said Vancouver-based marketing executive Kramer Solinsky. On his list this year, Solinsky plans to visit Montreal and the east coast for the first time and is traveling to Mexico City and Osaka in Japan instead of other sun-soaked options like Florida and California. To make some remote regions in northern Canada more accessible, Air North - the airline for the northern provinces of Yukon and Northwest Territories - added more capacity and non-stop routes for the summer, betting on higher demand from what it said was "clear and growing interest among Canadians in exploring more of their own country" Air North said arrivals to Yukon rose 7.6% from January to June this year and the airline continues to see growth in demand for flights to northern Canada. Other Canadian carriers have reported similar trends: Porter Airlines increased its summer network capacity to domestic travel to 80% from 75%, while peer WestJet in May suspended nine routes between Canada and the United States citing lower demand.

Private credit fintech Credibur raises $2.2m
Berlin-based FinTech Credibur has secured $2.2 million (€1.85 million) in pre-seed funding to launch its credit infrastructure platform. 0 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. The round is led by European FinTech VC Redstone, followed by Silicon Valley's MS&AD Ventures and Canadian VC Inovia. The round also includes several prominent business angels from the FinTech scene, including Malte Rau, Founder of Pliant, Topi Co-Founders Estelle Merle and Charlotte Pallua, along with super angel Bjarke Klinge Staun. From Manual Spreadsheets to Automated Solutions Nicolas Kipp, Founder and CEO of Credibur, knows the industry's challenges firsthand. As Co-Founder of embedded lending platform Banxware and Chief Risk Officer at Ratepay, he witnessed daily how funding and reporting processes can become operational bottlenecks that hinder growth. With Credibur, Kipp and his 10-person team are developing infrastructure that solves a central problem in the structured credit portfolio business between non-bank lenders and institutional capital providers: it automates complex, Excel-based workflows and provides all critical decision-making data in real-time. "Debt facility management is the underestimated Achilles' heel in non-bank lending – operationally complex and technologically neglected. With Credibur, we're digitalising this final frontier in the value chain and efficiently connecting institutional capital with new credit models," Kipp explains. The new platform for debt facility management goes far beyond traditional reporting tools, orchestrating the full lifecycle of institutional funding: from structuring through reporting and contract management, to capital calls and the administration of special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The solution targets alternative lenders such as buy now, pay later providers, factoring and leasing companies, as well as institutional investors, including asset managers, debt funds, and family offices. Private Credit: A High-Growth Market Facing Hurdles The majority of institutional capital providers continue to rely on manual processes or outdated systems to this day. Credibur replaces these with a modular API-and-AI-first infrastructure. This enables a more informed risk assessment and improved decision-making in the credit business. Time-consuming, error-prone Excel lists managing millions of euros become a thing of the past, as data is delivered directly from systems via interfaces. The volume of credit outside the banking sector is growing rapidly. Last year alone, global private credit volume reached approximately €2.1 trillion in assets under management according to the European Central Bank (ECB), with more than 20 percent (€430 billion) in Europe. With his experience in the structured finance business, Founder Nicolas Kipp positions Credibur as the infrastructure layer between alternative lenders and institutional investors – and as a key enabler for streamlining debt facility management. "Nicolas has already proven with Banxware and Ratepay that he can master the complexity of the credit business. With Credibur, he's now solving the next fundamental problem: manual debt facility management is slowing growth across the entire private credit sector. His infrastructure can finally digitalise this €430 billion industry in Europe", says Timo Fleig, Managing Partner at FinTech VC Redstone. "While everyone's talking about private credit as an asset class, many overlook the operational hurdles behind it. Credibur creates the technical infrastructure that institutional investors need to efficiently invest in this growing market. This is a classic infrastructure play with enormous scaling potential," adds Jon Soberg, CEO and Managing Partner at MS&AD Ventures. With this funding round, Credibur is emerging from stealth mode and is already launching with its first pilot customers. The fresh capital will flow into technical development of the API-and-AI-first infrastructure, customer acquisition, and team expansion.
