OnlyFans Names Keily Blair New CEO
variety.comTodd Spangler NY Digital Editor OnlyFans announced that Keily Blair, the company’s chief strategy and operations officer, has been promoted to CEO of the porn-friendly creator-subscription platform that has been trying to branch out into conventional entertainment sectors.
Blair will succeed Amrapali “Ami” Gan, who is stepping down to pursue new endeavors, according to OnlyFans. During Gan’s tenure as CEO, from December 2021 to June 2023, the U.K.-based company saw its global user base increase to more than 220 million fans and over 3 million creators and reach the milestone of $10 billion paid to creators.
Gan had assumed the role after the resignation of OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely. “Ami led OnlyFans through a significant period of growth and we are extremely grateful for all her hard work,” Lee Taylor, CFO and director of OnlyFans, said in a statement. “Over the past 18 months, Keily has played a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of OnlyFans and driving it towards our goal of becoming the safest social media platform.
Her connection with our creator community, and her vision for the future of the platform, will ensure that we continue to disrupt and innovate the monetization potential of the creator economy, as well as continue to appeal to creators and fans around the world.” Blair, who has a background as a lawyer and business exec, previously led OnlyFans’ trust and safety operations and was responsible for developing, executing and communicating OnlyFans’ strategic initiatives and future goals to users, commercial partners and other key stakeholders.
