Blair also took to Twitter to thank her friend and outgoing CEO Amrapali Gan. Blair also joined OnlyFans as its chief strategy and operations officer around the same time that Gan joined the company.
Blair further defined OnlyFans as an inclusive platform which enables fair pay for the work produced by all the content creators associated with the platform.
She further wrote: “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”.
But what will Gan do after leaving OnlyFans? She added that she is off to grab new opportunities which include launching of a fresh venture Hoxton Projects.
Gan explains: “Hoxton Projects reimagines the agency paradigm to support founders and growing businesses on how to best communicatet and market their purpose and competitive advantage. (tl;dr: Hoxton Projects clarifies what you need and executes a solution.)”
In her stint as the CEO of OnlyFans, she accomplished business goals such as prioritizing platform safety, scaling the organisation globally and growing the platform’s community of fans and creators.
According to Gan, OnlyFans paid out $10 billion in creator earnings and made it twice to the FT’s list of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies during her tenure as CEO. She added creator-led content on the platform increased at a steady pace and OnlyFans also launched its safety and transparency centre when she served as the CEO.
