　　Bright has more than 30 years of experience as a top human resources professional. He was Sotheby's Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, LionTree LLC's and Condé Nast's Chief Administrative Officer, and American Express's Human Resources Manager for over five years. She is a board member and head of the compensation committee for Simulmedia, which is based in New York, and Service Express, which is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Revenues Each Quarter

　　Interactive Brokers just revealed its financial results for the first quarter of 2021, which showed a dramatic drop in sales and profitability. The broker generated $645 million in net revenue between January and March, a nearly 28 percent decrease from the previous year. This sum was $692 million on an adjusted basis, down from $796 million the previous year.

　　Furthermore, the broker said that its commission-based income fell 15% to $349 million. This drop was caused by an “unusually busy trading season” last year, but it was also helped by more options and futures trading by clients.
