Earlier in his career, Becker worked at Relativity Entertainment Distribution. In 1993, he was appointed vice president of purchasing at the company after previously serving as director of purchasing.[4]
By 1997, Becker was vice president of product development at RED Distribution, owned by Sony Music Entertainment.[3]
In 2000, FMQB reported that Becker had been promoted to senior vice president of product development at RED Distribution.[5] In 2017, Billboard reported that Sony Music would merge RED Distribution into The Orchard and identified Becker as one of the RED senior staff moving to The Orchard. According to Billboard, labels who worked under RED welcomed the merger, "especially since familiar faces like long-time RED staffer Becker will now be a part of The Orchard team."[1]
