Following a viral video scandal involving the former CEO, Andy Byron, Pete DeJoy has stepped in as interim CEO of Astronomer. DeJoy, a co-founder with a significant equity stake, aims to navigate the company through this transition.

Pete DeJoy, who was named interim CEO of Astronomer over the weekend, made his first public comments about his new gig in a post on Monday.

DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.

After former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught embracing on Coldplay's kiss cam, the interim head of the company says the fallout isn't all bad.

The statement comes on the heels of the Coldplay kiss cam scandal. The viral saga began when a couple was highlighted in a kiss cam segment during a Coldplay show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., on July 16. After realizing they were on camera, the woman could be seen covering her face while the man ducked out of sight.
