\n\tGwyneth Paltrow is stepping in \u2014 temporarily \u2014 to help clear the air about Astronomer.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Friday (July 25), the Academy Award-winning actress and Goop founder appeared in a humorous new video for the tech company. The ad follows a viral incident involving former CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot, who were caught on a Coldplay kiss cam<\/a> during the band\u2019s Boston concert earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tAstronomer CEO Andy Byron Steps Down Following Coldplay Concert\u00a0Incident\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tShortly after Cabot\u2019s resignation on Friday<\/a>, Astronomer shared a social media video starring Paltrow \u2014 who was married to Coldplay<\/a> frontman Chris Martin<\/a> from 2003 to 2016 \u2014 acting as the company\u2019s \u201ctemporary spokesperson\u201d on behalf of its employees.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThank you for your interest in Astronomer,\u201d Paltrow says in the video<\/a>, seated casually at a desk. \u201cI\u2019ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs questions flash on-screen \u2014 including \u201cOMG! What the actual f\u2014\u201d and \u201cHow is your social media team hold-\u201d \u2014 Paltrow offers responses that hilariously sidestep the actual drama.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale,\u201d she says cheerfully after the first inquiry. \u201cWe\u2019ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the second question begins being typed out on screen, appears the Shakespeare in Love<\/em> star shifts gears again, plugging the company\u2019s upcoming Beyond Analytics event in September.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe will now be returning to what we do best, which is delivering game-changing results for our customers,\u201d Paltrow concludes. \u201cThank you for your interest in Astronomer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ad arrives in the wake<\/a> of the July 15 Coldplay concert at Boston\u2019s Gillette Stadium, where a jumbotron caught Byron with his arm around Cabot during a kiss cam segment. When the pair realized they were on screen, Byron ducked out of view while Cabot quickly turned away. Both were married to other people at the time and have since resigned from the company.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOh, look at these two,\u201d Martin joked from the stage. \u201cOh, what? Either they\u2019re having an affair or they\u2019re just very shy.\u201d<\/p>\n
