Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO,” a rep for Astronomer told Page Six late Friday night.
Astronomer announced that it was investigating CEO Andy Byron and HR Chief Kristin Cabot after they were spotted at a Coldplay concert.
"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO," the $1 billion company said.

Megan Kerrigan Byron removed her last name and then swiftly deleted her Facebook account following the viral cheating allegations.
Cabot was just appointed to her position in November, and her and CEO Andy Byron, both married, were quick to gush over one another.
