The Internet is still buzzing over a now-viral kiss cam moment featuring Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, at a Coldplay concert in Boston.
Caught cuddling on the Jumbotron during Chris Martin’s “Jumbotron Song,” Byron had his arms around Cabot as she leaned into him. When they saw themselves on screen, Cabot covered her face while Byron ducked out of view. Martin quipped, “Oh look at these two. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”
Social media quickly exploded with speculation, and attention soon turned to a third person caught in the clip — Alyssa Stoddard, another Astronomer employee.
Stoddard, reportedly the Senior Director of People, joined Astronomer in January 2025. Her LinkedIn lists past roles at Proofpoint, ObserveI, and Little Sparks Project. Just last week, Cabot promoted her to her current role.
