Astronomer Interim CEO Pete DeJoy to Address TBPN Amidst Company Leadership Transition

Pete DeJoy, Co-Founder and Interim CEO of Astronomer, is scheduled to appear on TBPN, "Technology's Daily Show," today at 1:00 PM PT. The appearance follows a recent leadership change at the data orchestration company, where DeJoy assumed the interim CEO role after the resignation of former CEO Andy Byron.

Astronomer, known for its Astro platform powered by Apache Airflow, empowers data teams to build and manage mission-critical data pipelines for analytics and AI-driven applications. The company achieved unicorn status in 2022 and recently secured $93 million in a Series D funding round in May 2025, bringing its valuation to $1.5 billion.

DeJoy, a foundational figure at Astronomer and its Chief Product Officer, stepped into the interim leadership position on July 19, 2025. This transition occurred after Andy Byron's resignation, which followed a widely publicized incident at a Coldplay concert involving Byron and the company's Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot.

TBPN, a digital media platform focused on technology news and interviews, streams live daily and is available on major platforms including Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. The show frequently hosts leaders from the tech industry to discuss various developments, market trends, and company strategies.

DeJoy's appearance is expected to provide insights into Astronomer's continued strategic direction and product vision, particularly given his background in shaping the company's offerings and his work with Apache Airflow. The company has emphasized its commitment to its core values and its ongoing work in the DataOps space.
