Astronomer's new CEO is speaking out about the Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy, admitting the viral video has raised brand awareness for the tech firm.

Astronomer's interim CEO Pete DeJoy said in an update that the startup had "received a level of media attention that few companies" ever encounter.

Pete DeJoy became interim CEO of Astronomer after Andy Byron resigned following a viral video at a Coldplay concert that led to an investigation.

After former CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught embracing on Coldplay's kiss cam, the interim head of the company says the fallout isn't all bad.

DeJoy was named Astronomer’s interim CEO after Byron was placed on leave following his alleged cheating scandal.
