Alyssa Stoddard may have thought she was in the free and dlear, but social media has ways of finding
everything.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, were caught in an
awkward moment when “kiss cam” landed on them at a Coldplay concert in Boston.
Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, an educator at Bancroft School, where she serves as Associate
Director of Lower School and the Hope Graham Program Admissions.
Kristin Cabot is also married. Her husband is said to be one Kenneth C Thomnby.
There was also a third woman in that triowho appeared to be looking rather uncomfortable at that
moment.
