Gwyneth Paltrow has signed up as a temporary spokesman for astronomer, the databampony pressed into the limelight after a viral “kiss -cam” scandal involving the then CEO Andy Byron and company manager of Mr. Kristin Cabot
Byron and Cabot, both married to other partners at the time of the incident at Coldplay’s Boston concert on July 15 to 16, was seen awkwardly avoid Jumbotron’s limelight. +
Chris Martin, Coldplay’s frontman and Paltrow’s ex -house ribbon, said, “Either they have an affair, or they are just very shy,” fuel for media and social -media -madness.
Within a few days, Byron withdrew on July 19, followed by Cabot’s resignation on July 24, when the astronomer’s board began an internal investigation and installed co -founder Pete Dejoy as temporary CEO.
In a tongue -i -Kind -Sales -promoting video released on July 25, Paltrow declared: “I have been hired on a very temporary basis for talking on behalf of the 300 Plus employees on astronomer.”
She asked spot questions, suddenly deflative scandal requirements with statements about Apache Airflow and an upcoming DataSops conference, making the controversy into naughty fire awareness.
Analysts say the decision to bring Paltrow, a high -profile figure with a personal draw for Martin, is smart crisis management.
It abuses excitement with humor and redirects attention to the company’s core technology capabilities rather than executive mismatch
Speculation is now swirling: Who can astronom hire next door to maintain speed? Some industry surveys, such as Half -Joke, like Dakota Johnson, previously engaged to Chris Martin after his divorce from Paltrow, could be next. Although purely hypothetical and likely tongue-in-the-kind, the idea highlights the astronomer’s willingness to lean into pop culture connections.
On the personal front, Paltrow and Martin married in 2003, had two children and announced their split in 2014 and ended their divorce in 2016.
