The short answer
- CEO: Keily Blair, since 18 July 2023. Before that: Chief Strategy & Operations Officer from January 2022; earlier a partner at law firm Orrick and a director at PwC.
- Predecessors: Amrapali “Ami” Gan (December 2021 – July 2023) and founder Tim Stokely (2016 – December 2021).
- Not the owner: OnlyFans belongs to Fenix International Ltd, controlled by the Chudnovsky family trust since 20 March 2026 (previously Leonid Radvinsky, from October 2018).
- Board: Blair, Yekaterina Chudnovsky and James Sagan were appointed Fenix directors on 8 May 2026; Lee Taylor has served since December 2021.
Who is Keily Blair?
Blair's promotion was announced by OnlyFans on 18 July 2023, when Gan stepped down “to pursue new endeavors”. The same announcement moved deputy general counsel Matt Reeder into the operations role Blair vacated and made Sue Beeby chief communications officer. Blair had spent the previous eighteen months running the platform's trust-and-safety operations — the compliance side of a business whose licence to operate depends on payment processors and regulators — which is the background that distinguishes her from her marketing-led predecessor.

CEO vs. owner: who actually controls OnlyFans
The two questions people conflate — who runs OnlyFans and who owns it — have different answers, and the gap between them explains most of the confusion in search results. The chief executive manages the platform; control sits with whoever holds the shares of the UK parent company.
Who sits on the Fenix International board
Fenix International Ltd is the company that operates OnlyFans, and its directors are public record. The register shows a board that was rebuilt in May 2026, seven weeks after Radvinsky's death.

One detail worth knowing: founder Tim Stokely never appears on the Fenix officer register himself — the early directorships were held by Guy and Deborah Stokely. Dates are as recorded by Companies House.
How Blair says OnlyFans is run
Blair's most-quoted description of the company came at Web Summit in Lisbon on 13 November 2025: OnlyFans employs 42 full-time staff and, by design, has no middle-management layer. In the same appearance she cited roughly $7 billion in annual gross revenue and $1.41 billion net — figures that match the audited FY2024 accounts (gross fan payments $7.22B, platform net revenue $1.41B).
Read against the numbers, the staffing claim is the more remarkable one: at 42 employees, FY2024 net revenue works out to roughly $34 million per head, which is why the company's cost base and margins look nothing like a typical technology platform. The financial statistics page has the audited breakdown.
FAQ
Who is the CEO of OnlyFans?
Keily Blair. An Irish former corporate lawyer, she joined OnlyFans in January 2022 as Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, where she led trust and safety, and was promoted to chief executive on 18 July 2023. Since 8 May 2026 she has also been a director of the parent company, Fenix International Ltd.
Who was the CEO of OnlyFans before Keily Blair?
Amrapali “Ami” Gan, the company's former chief marketing officer, ran OnlyFans from December 2021 until July 2023, when she stepped down to start her own venture. Before Gan, founder Tim Stokely was chief executive from the launch in 2016 until December 2021.
Does the CEO own OnlyFans?
No. OnlyFans is owned by Fenix International Ltd, a private UK company. Leonid Radvinsky controlled it from October 2018 until his death on 20 March 2026; control then passed to a family trust led by his widow, Yekaterina Chudnovsky. The CEO runs the business for that owner and, since May 2026, sits on the Fenix board alongside Chudnovsky, James Sagan and Lee Taylor.
Is Tim Stokely still involved with OnlyFans?
Not in any registered role. Tim Stokely stepped down as chief executive in December 2021. The Stokely family members who appear on the Fenix International officer register, Guy Robert Stokely and Deborah Anne Stokely, resigned their directorships in December 2021 and October 2017 respectively.
How many employees does OnlyFans have?
Speaking at Web Summit in Lisbon in November 2025, Keily Blair said OnlyFans had 42 full-time employees and deliberately no layer of middle management. That is a company statement, not an audited figure; the audited FY2024 accounts put gross fan payments at $7.22 billion and platform net revenue at $1.41 billion.
