Five Facts About Kristin Cabot, the Woman in Viral Kiss Cam Video From a Coldplay Concert

The internet was talking about her private life this week, despite the fact that she has led people teams at prestigious tech companies, built a career on empathy and leadership, and proudly blasts heavy metal from her Maine roots.

A IT executive who was the focus of rumors and criticism following an embarrassing kiss cam encounter with a man who was identified as her boss has unexpectedly gained attention thanks to a viral TikTok video from a recent Coldplay performance.
