Andy Byron, the chief executive of New York-based tech company Astronomer, has resigned from his role after he was spotted embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert, according to a statement shared with CNN on Saturday.

Astronomer’s board of directors accepted Byron’s resignation and will begin searching for its next CEO, according to the statement.

Following the viral video of Byron, alleged statements from Byron acknowledging the situation began to circulate online. Astronomer said in an earlier LinkedIn post that Byron “has not put out any statement” and “reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.” That statement also addressed the misidentification of a third person seen in the clip circulating on the internet in the day following the video’s release.

CNN was unable to contact Byron for comment.

On Wednesday, Byron was seen with Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief people officer, on the “kiss cam” screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before both ducked out of view.
