LONDON, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – OnlyFans has announced today that Keily Blair will assume the position of Chief Executive Officer, replacing Amrapali (Ami) Gan.

Over the past 18 months, Keily has played a crucial role in shaping the strategic direction of OnlyFans and driving it towards our objective of becoming the most secure social media platform.

I am delighted to take on the role of CEO at such an exciting time for the company. My goal is to provide creators with an innovative and safe platform that connects them with their fans and monetizes their content.
