Tech executive Andy Byron was caught on a jumbotron at a Coldplay concert embracing a woman reported to be his company's chief human resources officer. The woman in question, Kristin Cabot, has subsequently deleted her LinkedIn profile. Newsweek contacted Astronomer for comment via email on Friday outside regular working hours.
Andrew Cabot is "six generations removed from the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), who was a merchant, rum distilled and American privateer during the American Revolution," that site says, indicating that the current Andrew Cabot is trying to bring back an older version of rum.
Cabot appears to be married to Privateer Rum’s CEO, as private records show they’re co-owners of a $2.2 million New Hampshire home.
