Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught in an awkward moment when “kiss cam” landed on them at a Coldplay concert in Boston on Wednesday night. The pair, seen with their arms around each other, quickly reacted as frontman Chris Martin commented, “Oh, look at these two.” As the camera lingered, Byron, who is married, abruptly pulled away and ducked behind a barrier. However, Cabot covered her face with her hands, visibly embarrassed. The unexpected spotlight appeared to rattle the duo, whose cosy moment quickly turned into a scramble for cover.
