Kristin Cabot, a respected executive in the tech world, unexpectedly became a trending topic after a kiss cam moment at a Coldplay concert went viral. Caught on video alongside Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, the two appeared surprised and awkward when shown on the stadium screen, sparking online speculation about their relationship. The clip, which quickly spread on TikTok, drew attention from fans and even Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin, who commented on the scene during the performance.
Cabot is the Chief People Officer at Astronomer, a data company known for its Astro platform. Before this role, she led HR teams at Neo4j, where she emphasized empathetic leadership and creating meaningful connections at work. Despite the viral attention, she remains committed to her role and team. Cabot has since taken down her social media accounts, likely in response to the wave of attention the video brought.
Beyond her career, Cabot is a Maine native and a proud metal music fan—traits that have surprised some unfamiliar with her dynamic personality. According to public sources, she is divorced and has one child, though she keeps her personal life largely private. Her leadership style and personal story have earned her a loyal following among colleagues and industry peers.
While the video raised eyebrows, it also highlighted how quickly private moments can become public. Cabot has chosen not to comment publicly, maintaining her focus on work and family. As the buzz fades, her story is a reminder that people are more than a viral moment—they’re professionals, parents, and individuals navigating unexpected spotlight with quiet resilience.
