Kristin Cabot’s Quiet Exit Sends Loud Shockwaves; Astronomer In Turmoil

Kristin Cabot has officially stepped down as Head of Human Resources at Astronomer Inc, just days after a viral Coldplay concert moment catapulted her into the public eye. While the company framed the move as part of internal restructuring, insiders hint at deeper tensions, ranging from team culture clashes to staffing strategy disagreements. Her departure, described by many employees as both “sudden and strategic,” comes on the heels of CEO Andy Byron’s resignation and public fallout from the infamous “kiss cam” incident. Cabot, long seen as a stabilizing force behind Astronomer’s rapid growth, was reportedly instrumental in shaping hiring and culture. Now, with both top execs out, the company faces a wave of internal soul-searching, sparked by a moment that went viral for all the wrong reasons.
