Keily Blair said: “I am delighted to be taking on the role of CEO at such an exciting time for the company.
“OnlyFans only succeeds when creators succeed. It is our mission to make OnlyFans the platform of choice for a diverse range of creators and fans across the world.
“I will continue to put our creators at the heart of every business decision and will provide them with an inclusive, safe, and innovative platform to connect with their fans and monetise their content.”
In a tweet, Blair added: “OnlyFans is an inclusive platform that enables our diverse community of content creators to be paid fairly for the work they produce.
“It has empowered millions of creators around the world and continues to play a significant role in the growth of the creator economy.”
Gan was CEO from December 2021 to June 2023.
During her tenure, OnlyFans saw its global user base increase to more than 220 million and over three million creators.
The platform also reached $10 billion paid to creators.
Gan took over the role after OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely resigned.
After OnlyFans, Amrapali Gan said she is “off to pursue a few new opportunities – including launching a fresh venture: Hoxton Projects”.
