Right after the video recording her husband's affection for an employee went viral, Ms. Megan Kerrigan Byron - CEO Andy Byron's wife took a tough action. She deleted her husband's last name from her personal Instagram account, leaving only the name "Megan Kerrigan".
Previously, at Gillette Stadium in Boston, Coldplay's performance selected many couples to screen on the big screen. In it, the camera captures the moment CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot - the company's human resources director - are hugging each other tightly. Both quickly withdrew from the camera when they realized they were filming.
This video immediately went viral on X and TikTok, attracting millions of views and shares. Forums began questioning the CEO's ethics and the title of human resources director of Kristin Cabot - who only joined the company 9 months ago.
Andy Byron is the CEO of data technology company Astronomer since July 2023. He has had an admirable career with senior positions in software and cybersecurity enterprises.
The company he leads is currently valued at more than 1 billion USD, serving many large customers such as banks and media corporations. However, the love scandal is causing both of their reputation and careers to collapse rapidly.
According to international media, Byron's family lives in New York and has two children. The CEO's wife's reaction - removing them from Instagram - is seen as the first sign that a storm has broken out in the family.
Meanwhile, Kristin Cabot is also under great pressure. Many have asked Cabot to explain his role and relationships within the company.
