Dr. Becker advises world corporations and banks on economic issues relating to globalization and monetary affairs, as well as strategy. He began making his mark as the chief economist at BMW, where he was instrumental in creating an economic strategy department for the international automotive giant. He stayed on with BMW for almost a quarter of a century, advising the company on corporate strategy. He can be considered one of the leading consultants in the automotive industry.

Furthermore he is a member of several political and economic think-tanks such as the Ludwig Erhard and Konrad Adenauer foundations.
