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."

She also spent 10 years working in frontline politics and was a special adviser in the U.K. Government to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. On the changes in leadership, new CEO Blair commented, "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.
