Gwyneth Paltrow shares her thanks for your interest in Astronomer

In a plot only the internet could deliver, tech company Astronomer has embraced their recent scandal by enlisting Gwyneth Paltrow as their new ‘Temporary Spokesperson’.

After CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay concert, sparking affair rumors and their subsequent resignations, Astronomer has flipped the script.

Instead of the usual corporate damage control, they’ve released a satirical video with Paltrow – ex-wife of Coldplay’s Chris Martin – playing the role of temporary PR guru. In the clip, she breezily addresses the controversy with a wink, suggesting the buzz has everyone suddenly interested in their niche: data workflow automation.

Paltrow doesn’t shy away from the awkwardness, delivering one-liners about Apache Airflow and plugging Astronomer’s upcoming Beyond Analytics event.

By blending humor and self-awareness, Astronomer has turned a viral misstep into a PR coup, ensuring that while the scandal might fade, their name – and their unique handling of it – will stick around.
