Alex Varum

Over the past decade Alex Varum has paved the way for a new generation of young adults to support JFCS and step into leadership roles. He recently joined the JFCS Board of Directors and has been an influential force on the long-standing JFCS Emigre Committee. Originally from the Soviet Union, Alex immigrated to the U.S. with his family as a child. He completed his education in the Bay Area and holds a law degree. With his expertise in law and business, Alex has established himself as a successful Bay Area real estate professional and property manager.

Alex, his wife, Natalie Kriegel, a finance professional, and their toddler son live in San Francisco. The young couple are both active in the community and Alex comments, “Staying connected to my Russian-Jewish roots and giving back have been really important to me, and JFCS has helped me do both in innumerable ways.”
