Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer

The technology company Astronomer said that his CEO Andy Byron had resigned after he was shown that he hugged a woman on a screen during a Coldplay concert.

Astronomer's board of directors accepted the resignation on Saturday and said that he would start a search for a replacement. The company said on Friday that it initiated a formal examination according to Byron after the video of him had become viral online.

“As already mentioned, the astronomer of the values and the culture that has led us since our foundation. Our managers are expected to determine the standard for behavior and accountability, and this standard was not reached recently,” said the New York Company in a statement on Saturday.

According to a social media contribution, Byron was wrapped in Foxborough, Massachusetts during a Coldplay concert on Wednesday, to wrap a woman on a jumbo screen. Some media identified the woman as an astronomer head of personnel Kristin Cabot.

Byron did not immediately respond to inquiries about comments sent to the astronomer.

The video was created after the Coldplay singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd after his “Jumbootron song” when he sings a few lines about the people on which the camera ends up.

A couple of cuddling and smiling was shown for a few seconds, with the man's arms wrapped around her when she leaned back in him. When she saw herself on the big screen, her jaw fell off, her hands flew to her face and she turned away from the camera. He ducked out of the frame, just like her.

“Either they have an affair or they are only very shy,” joked Martin.
