Gail Becker began her career as a broadcast journalist in the late 80s, worked in politics/government, and spent years as a senior executive in corporate America. She also served as a political appointment at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services during the first Clinton Administration. Additionally, she was a member of the national press staff and the primary on-site satellite producer for candidates Clinton and Gore during their ’92 presidential campaign.
Becker worked as a communications strategist at Warner Bros. in the early days of the DVD. She served as VP of communications at Warner Home Entertainment, where she spearheaded the global public relations launch of the DVD format on behalf of Warner Bros. and Time Warner, leaders in the development of the technology.
At the global communications firm Edelman, Becker served as President of Strategic Partnerships and Global Integration. She began as GM of the LA office, which she grew to be the market's largest, and served as Western Region President and as Chair of Canada & Latin America, where she tripled revenue. Becker also served as Chair of Edelman’s Global Women’s Executive Network (GWEN), overseeing the company’s effort to increase the number of women at the senior-most levels of the firm.
Following the passing of her father, Becker decided to leave her corporate job and follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps. As a mother of two sons with Celiac disease, she grew frustrated with the gluten-free industry and decided to do something about it. Thus, she created CAULIPOWER, a brand that introduced a new category of cauliflower-based foods. Today, Becker's Caulipower is one of the fastest-growing food brands, with over $100 million in annual sales.
As a testament to her storytelling ability, Becker directed an award-winning short documentary film. A Journey with Purpose follows her nine-year-old son’s trip to Auschwitz with his grandfather, who was a prisoner there for four years. Today, the film is in the Facing History Library, a non-profit nurturing democracy through education. Additionally, Becker is on the board of the Friends of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
