OnlyFans has appointed Amrapali "Ami" Gan as its new CEO after the company with over a billion-dollar valuation saw its founder Tim Stokely step off the helm to pursue other endeavours.

That is right. Ami Gan is yet another CEO of a major company who has Indian roots. With her new role, she will be joining a long list of Indians who have made it to the top of their company's management. Some of the famous names in this list are Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Indra Nooyi, Arvind Krishna and most recently, Parag Agrawal.

So naturally, Ami Gan has made waves with her new appointment as the CEO of OnlyFans. To have a look at her expertise which led to her promotion, here is everything you need to know about Amrapali Gan.

Who is Amrapali Gan?

The new OnlyFans CEO is an ace marketer who was born in Mumbai, India. Other than this, Gan has little mention of the country in her records. Her early, as well as higher education, has been from California, US, where she still lives.
