The Coldplay<\/a> fan who was filming when a tech firm CEO was broadcast to a stadium of people with his arm around his HR chief has spoken out about the moment – to take a cheeky swipe at the couple.<\/p>\n

Grace Springer, 28, was recording from the crowd when\u00a0Andrew Byron and Kirstin Cabot appeared on the big screen together at Boston’s Gillette Stadium on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The couple recoiled, with Byron, the head of the AI<\/a> startup Astronomer, diving out of view and Cabot covering her face and turning away from the camera.<\/p>\n

Coldplay’s Chris Martin<\/a>\u00a0poked at the couple on the kiss cam, jokingly speculating: ‘Either they’re having an affair, or they’re just very shy.’<\/p>\n

Grace, from New Jersey<\/a>, went on to share the drama on TikTok<\/a>, before it very rapidly grew into a viral sensation.<\/p>\n

She told the U.S. Sun<\/a> she had no idea who they were, but but thought it was an ‘interesting reaction’ to the kiss cam.<\/p>\n

‘A part of me feels bad for turning these people\u2019s lives upside down, but, play stupid games\u2026 win stupid prizes,’ she told the outlet.<\/p>\n

The video been seen tens of millions of times in the last three days.<\/p>\n

Shocked CEO’s stunned words as he was caught on Coldplay kisscam cuddling his HR director<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

\"article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Byron heaped praise on Cabot in a November 2024 post about her appointment to the firm.<\/p>\n

‘Kristin\u2019s exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,’ he said in a press release<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.’<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail has contacted Byron, Cabot and Astronomer for comment.<\/p>\n

Byron became CEO of\u00a0Astronomer in 2023, and the startup rapidly grew under his tenure including a reported 292% growth in revenue for its ‘Astro’ platform that year.<\/p>\n

Before working at\u00a0Astronomer, he worked at cybersecurity tech company Cybereason.<\/p>\n

A 2018 report <\/a>on the company included claims from staff that the appointment of Byron as chief revenue officer a year prior had ‘quickly caused turmoil’.<\/p>\n

Multiple former employees said Byron would lash out against staff who disagreed with him.<\/p>\n

‘You couldn’t challenge him,’ one told The Information, a tech industry outlet.<\/p>\n

Another employee said where people once ‘loved’ the company, ‘now they hate it’.<\/p>\n

In the article, Byron denied having contentious dealings with staff, recognising that ‘difficult decisions’ may have ‘disappointed some individuals’.<\/p>\n

Coldplay was performing at the ongoing\u00a0Music Of The Spheres World Tour on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

They will next play Madison, Nashville and Miami before heading back to the UK for a string of dates in August and September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
