Andy Byron, CEO of Dataops, resigned at a viral scandal concerning HR leader Kristin Cabot.
The moment in question – captured at Kiss Cam at the Coldplay concert – caused a quick response to the public and internal control, which eventually led to the departure of Byron.
The company confirmed the resignation in an official statement published on Saturday. The statement is as follows:
“As mentioned earlier, the astronomer committed to the values and culture that led us since our foundation.
Andy Byron offered his resignation and accepted the board. The Council will start the search for our next CEO as a co -founder and chief product director Pete Dejoy continues to serve as a temporary CEO.
Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the datopes and helped team teams to drive everything from modern analysis to AI production.
While awareness of our company could have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers are not.
We continue what we do best: we help our customers with their most difficult data and AI problems. ”
What happened at the beginning of this week?
The now infamous incident occurred at the beginning of this week at the Coldplay concert at the Gillette stadium in Foxborough in Massachusetts, where Byron was seen at the Kiss Cam stadium, including Cabot from behind. The clip quickly circulated on social media and promoted speculation of romantic relationships between two managers.
Another check followed when both individuals were married: Byron with Megan Kerrigan and Cabot with Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum.
In the immediate consequences, Byron and Cabot were placed on an administrative holiday. The astronomer has publicly responded and emphasized its commitment to the values of society and responsibility:
“It is expected that our leaders will determine the standard in behavior and responsibility. The Board of Directors has launched a formal investigation into this matter and we will have more details that we could share very soon.”
Despite the significant nature of the controversy, the astronomer repeated his permanent obligation to clients and innovation.
The company leadership is now underway because the search starts for the new permanent CEO.
