Created adult content giant OnlyFans from his brother’s kitchen: Tim Stokely steps down as CEO to find ‘my next challenge’
The man behind the successful adult content platform OnlyFans has said he is leaving the hugely popular website as he is seeking a new challenge.
Created in 2016 by Tim Stokely, the subscription content platform allows users to earn money from subscribers on a monthly basis and is popular with sex workers.
The service experienced a boom during Covid and its subsequent lockdowns around the world.
Stokely, who said he created the platform from his “brother’s kitchen table” around five years ago, announced that he will be stepping down from his position as chief executive to “focus on my next challenge”.
In an Instagram post he wrote: “I’d like to thank all of my colleagues, but the most important thank you is to all of the content creators… you made OnlyFans what it is today.”
The OnlyFans creator congratulated his successor, marketing head Amrapali Gan, adding that Ms Gan has a “deep passion” for the platform he founded.
Stokely said: “I’m passing the baton on to a colleague and a friend, who has the vision and drive to help the organisation reach tremendous potential.”
