Pete DeJoy took over following former CEO Andy Byron’s resignation after he was captured on a “kiss cam” with a fellow Astronomer employee, who is not his wife, at a Coldplay concert.

"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,” said cofounder Pete DeJoy.

Astronomer’s Interim CEO Pete DeJoy has revealed how the “spotlight” on the company amid the Andy Byron kiss cam scandal has affected the team.

Pete DeJoy was announced as Astronomer's interim CEO on Saturday following a kiss cam scandal involving his former boss.

Astronomer co-founder Pete DeJoy has stepped in to the role of interim CEO following Andy Byron's resignation in disgrace. Byron was caught on the "kiss cam" at a Coldplay concert last week, cozying up to Astronomer head of HR Kristin Cabot. Both Byron and Cabot are married to other people and have children with their spouses.

DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.
