Caught in a scandal - CEO of a US IT company resigns.

The CEO of Astronomer, Andy Byron, resigned after a video surfaced showing him hugging a woman at a Coldplay concert. The company is now looking for a new leader.

According to CNN, the company has already accepted Byron's resignation and has begun the search for a new CEO. For now, the HR department of Astronomer remains in place, but the head is on leave.

In the meantime, the duties of the CEO will be temporarily fulfilled by the company's co-founder, Pete DeJoy.

CNN: 'Astronomer stands by the values and culture we have upheld since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set standards of behavior and accountability, but recently they have not adhered to those standards.'
