Just days after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron announced his departure, the company has seen another major leadership change. Kristin Cabot, the Head of Human Resources, has also stepped down from her role. Her profile was recently removed from the company’s leadership page, signaling a quiet but noticeable shift within the organization.

Astronomer, known for its work around Apache Airflow and data orchestration tools, has been navigating a period of internal transition. While there has been no official statement from the company about Cabot’s resignation, sources close to the matter suggest it may be linked to the broader leadership restructuring following Byron’s exit.

Cabot had been with Astronomer for several years and was seen as a steady presence in shaping the company’s people strategy. Her departure adds to growing speculation about what’s next for the startup and how it plans to stabilize its executive leadership going forward.

Employees have been reportedly reassured that daily operations will continue as usual. However, leadership changes often raise concerns about company direction, especially in fast-moving tech environments.

It remains to be seen whether the recent resignations are part of a larger strategy to reset the leadership team or reflect deeper internal challenges. The company has not yet announced any successors for the positions vacated by either Byron or Cabot.

Observers will be watching closely as Astronomer enters this new phase — one where clarity and communication from the remaining leadership will be critical.
