Jerry W. Levin, chairman of San Francisco-based retail chain Sharper Image Corp., resigned effective immediately as both member and chairman. But that doesn’t mean he’s done with the troubled retailer, which recently declared bankruptcy; quite the contrary. Levin told Sharper Image that he is interested in participating with other investors to acquire some or all of the company's businesses or assets. Robert Conway, recently named Sharper Image CEO, said the company would “give full consideration to any proposal that may be made to acquire the company's business or assets.”Gift industry marketing and public relations firm Professional Marketing, Grand Rapids, MI, named Paul T. Bishop to the position of vice president. This is Bishop’s second tour of duty with the firm, which he first joined in 2003. Bishop, who began his career with fashion brand Versace, then spent three years representing Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan before returning to conduct research, develop strategic marketing plans and launch several new initiatives.
