The chief executive of tech firm Astronomer has resigned after a video appearing to show two of its senior members of staff embracing at a Coldplay concert went viral.

The tech firm said chief executive Andy Byron had tendered his resignation, and that the board of directors had accepted.

“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the company said in a statement.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.

“The board will begin a search for our next chief executive as co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.”
