Biography

Born to a Jewish family, the son of Joseph and Elizabeth Wilf, who were both Holocaust survivors from Nazi occupied Poland.[2] Mark's father, Joseph Wilf (1925-2016), was the first North American Chair of the March of the Living, which dedicated the 2017 March of the Living to his memory.[3][4] Mark has one brother, Zygi Wilf.[5] The Wilf family immigrated to the United States from Europe in the early 1950s and settled in Hillside, New Jersey. After a brief stint as used car salesmen, Joseph and his brother Harry Wilf began purchasing apartment buildings and renting units. Eventually, the brothers began building single-family homes and founded Garden Homes.[6] A successful real estate developer, his two main family-run businesses, Garden Homes and Garden Commercial Properties, have constructed some 25,000 homes in 39 states across the country since their initial ventures; the two entities and their affiliates own and manage {{convert|25000000|sqft|m2}} in retail and business property.[7]

Wilf received a B.A. from Princeton University and then a J.D from the New York University School of Law.[8] After graduation, Wilf joined the family real estate business, Garden Homes. In 2005, Wilf and his brother Zygi Wilf, took control of the Minnesota Vikings with advisement on the deal coming from international law firm Greenberg Traurig and now-Vikings COO Kevin Warren.[9][10] Wilf was appointed president and his brother Zygi, CEO. As president, Wilf manages the day-to-day operations of the team and directs all its business departments.[8]

He was also appointed by the JFNA to lead a new initiative that addresses the needs of impoverished Holocaust survivors living in the United States. He serves as a Trustee of Yeshiva University.[11] He also serves on the Board of Trust of Vanderbilt University.[12]
