LONDON — OnlyFans has named Chief Strategy and Operations Officer Keily Blair as new CEO, following the announcement of the departure of Ami Gan.
Gan took to Twitter on Tuesday to announcement her departure, which comes just two months short of her third anniversary in the role.
“NEW CHAPTER (tl;dr): Leaving OnlyFans and Launching a new venture. Spending nearly three years at OnlyFans while it echoed throughout the cultural zeitgeist, has been beyond rewarding,” Gan tweeted.
Gan touted her short-lived tenure at the head of the premium fan platform, writing, “Within this time I’ve accomplished incredible goals for the business including enhancing its priority focus on platform safety, scaling the organization globally, and growing OF’s diverse community of creators and fans.”
According to Gan, under her direction the company paid out $10 billion in creator earnings, made it onto the Financial Times’ list of “Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies” twice, saw massive expansion of OFTV’s creator-led content and launched the platform’s Safety & Transparency Center.
Gan noted as a highlight “being able to get to know so many creators and represent the iconic community that is OnlyFans.”
OnlyFans, Gan assured readers, “is left in exceptional hands as the baton gets passed over to friend and colleague, Keily Blair to take the reigns of the organization.”
The departing CEO also revealed she will be launching a new venture, Hoxton Projects, which aims to “reimagine the agency paradigm to support founders and growing businesses on how to best communicate and market their purpose and competitive advantage.”
According to tech news site Tech Crunch, new CEO Blair “came to OnlyFans after a career in data privacy law, a skillset that serves useful at a company that cannot succeed without making users feel confident that their data is safe.”
Tech Crunch also reported that Matt Reeder, the company’s deputy general counsel, will replace Blair as CSOO, with Sue Beeby becoming chief communications officer.
