A US tech company says its chief executive has quit after he was apparently caught on a big screen at a Coldplay concert embracing a female co-worker, in a clip that went viral.

The clip showed a man and a woman hugging on a jumbo screen at the arena in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before they abruptly ducked and hid from the camera.

The pair were identified in US media as Mr Byron, a married chief executive of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the firm’s chief people officer.

      This wasn’t a big company ceo. The company, Astronomer, has between 200-500 employees. That’s still in “we are a family” territory, but its a bit out of scope.

      Your point seems to be that “all CEOs are thieves and liars, so dont trust anything, ever.” I think that’s more cynical internet puffery than an actual stance. No CEO, even at small companies, are looking out for your personal welfare, but there is a difference between someone who honestly accesses your business value and a lying liar that lies while they lie.

      Learning your CEO is explicitly the latter is useful and actionable info.
