Andy Byron

Andy Byron built the kind of career that runs on quiet competence: a chief-executive climb through the world of cloud and data. Born Andrew Michael Byron in 1974 in Massachusetts, he pitched college and independent-league baseball before turning to the boardroom, holding senior posts at Fuze, Cybereason and Lacework, then taking the helm as CEO of the data analytics firm Astronomer in 2023. Under him the company raised a $93 million round and reached a valuation near $1.3 billion. He is now, however, best known for a single viral moment: a Coldplay kiss-cam in July 2025 that caught him and a colleague, both married to others, and led within days to his resignation.

His chart is doubly Virgo, Sun and Moon together in the sign of the Virgin. The Virgo Sun shines not through limelight but through being useful, through mastery of detail and doing a job perfectly out of principle, the meticulous operator behind the numbers. The Moon in Virgo seeks its peace of mind through order, service and routine. It is the signature of the diligent perfectionist, most at ease when the ledger is balanced and the work is exact.
