Astronomer CEO Resigns Amid Cabot Family Scandal

Kristin Cabot, chief people officer at tech firm Astronomer, became the focus of public scrutiny after a viral Coldplay concert incident with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who has since resigned. Kristin is married to Andrew Cabot, CEO of Privateer Rum and a member of the prominent Boston Brahmin Cabot family, whose legacy includes shipping, manufacturing, and philanthropy. The couple recently purchased a $2.2 million home in Rye, New Hampshire, and Kristin also serves as an advisory board member and trustee for Privateer Rum. Both Kristin and Andrew have previous marriages and children from those relationships. The scandal has renewed attention on the Cabot family's influence and Kristin's professional background in HR leadership. It has also highlighted the insular nature of Boston's old-money elite, with the Cabots exemplifying the region's social hierarchy.
