Keily Blair to Take Over as OnlyFans CEO Following Ami Gan’s Departure
After nearly three years with the company, Ami Gan, the CEO of OnlyFans, has resigned from her role. Keily Blair, the Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, will now assume the position of CEO.
Gan tweeted “Having spent almost 3 years at OnlyFans while it resonated throughout the culture has been rewarding”.
According to TechCrunch, the increasing difficulty for producers of adult online content to maintain their livelihoods due to changing practices of credit card companies and global legislation had become a challenge for OnlyFans. During Gan’s launch month, OnlyFans announced that it would ban sexual content, and the creator community had reacted strongly to the decision. Although it was eventually translated, the fear of financial consequences remained in the authors’ minds.
About Ami Gan
Prior to becoming CEO, Gan was Marketing Director of OnlyFans, and prior to that he led communications at Cannabis Cafe, Red Bull, Quest Nutrition and other companies. He had a marketing background from the beginning of his career.
With this in mind, Gan said he started his own company called Hoxton Projects. He said it will be a marketing company that “reimagines the agency paradigm” to drive business growth.
New CEO of OnlyFans
Keily Blair joins as the new CEO of the OnlyFans platform. Before starting his journey on the platform, he pursued a career in data protection law. VainFans, a company that is heavily dependent on users’ trust in data security, needs his expertise to serve the purpose of the company.
Assistant General Counsel Matt Reeder will now assume the role of CSOO, and Sue Beeby will be appointed Director of Communications.
In a conversation with TechCrunch, Gan and Blair were asked if adult creators can expect to be on OnlyFans five years from now. And how much of OnlyFans’ revenue comes from adult content producers, given that the company has consistently promoted safe services. They both seemed to dismiss the question, according to a TechCrunch report.
