Company also welcomes new additions to its executive
team
LONDON, July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- OnlyFans has
announced today that Keily Blair
will succeed Amrapali (Ami) Gan as
CEO.
Ami Gan led the digital media
platform until the end of June 2023,
steering the company through a strong growth period which saw the
platform increase its global user base to over 220 million fans and
over 3 million creators and reach the milestone of $10 billion paid to creators. She has stepped
down to pursue new endeavors.
"Ami led OnlyFans through a significant period of growth and we
are extremely grateful for all her hard work," Lee Taylor, Chief Financial Officer and Director
of OnlyFans, said.
Announcing Keily Blair's appointment and the additions to
the executive team, Lee Taylor
added: "I am pleased to announce Keily
Blair's appointment as CEO, and to welcome Sue Beeby and Matt
Reeder to our executive team. 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 monetisation potential of the
creator economy, as well as continue to appeal to creators and fans
around the world."
Blair, an award winning lawyer and experienced business leader,
steps up from her role as Chief Strategy and Operations Officer of
OnlyFans. As CSOO, Blair led OnlyFans' trust and safety operations
and was responsible for formulating, driving and communicating
OnlyFans' strategic initiatives and future goals to users,
commercial partners, and other key stakeholders.
In addition to Blair's appointment, the company has announced
two further appointments to its C-Suite. Matt Reeder, the company's Deputy General
Counsel, will replace Blair as Chief Operations Officer and
Sue Beeby, OnlyFans' VP of
Communications, will become the company's Chief Communications
Officer.
Matt Reeder joined OnlyFans from
a leading global law firm after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps,
where he gained leadership experience in a combat zone, served on
the staff of a U.S. Senator and defended the Department of the Navy
in federal court. With a background in the creative arts, his
unique skill set makes him especially suited to his new role.
Sue Beeby has over twenty years'
experience in communications, advising a range of multinational
companies. She also spent 10 years working in frontline politics
and was a special adviser in the UK Government to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer.
Commenting on the leadership changes, CEO 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."
"It is a pleasure to welcome both Sue
Beeby and Matt Reeder to our
executive team. They are experts in their respective fields and
their experience will further bolster our leadership team. I also
wish Ami all the best with her future endeavors."
