David Becker Biography :

David Becker joined iQ's Advisory Board in August 2003. Most recently Becker founded Backslap Entertainment, an online syndication company backed by Fremantle Television and Bertelsmann. Prior to starting Backslap, Becker was President and COO of Uproar.com, a highly successful online games site that was ultimately purchased by Vivendi.

Becker, who joined Uproar in 1997, transformed a single-product company into the #1 entertainment destination site on the Internet. During his time at the online game show pioneer, Becker raised the company's revenues from $10,000 in 1997 to $10,300,000 in 1999 and participated in initial public offerings and acquisitions.

In addition to his company-building skills, Becker has significant experience engineering business development deals including Uproar's partnership with Fremantle Television, the world's largest owner of game show formats. This deal gave Uproar the online rights to Pearson intellectual properties including Family Feud, as well as television promotion.

Prior to his time at Uproar, David was Brand Development Director for Time Magazine where he was responsible for print and online brand management. His two-year deal with CompuServe netted Time $7.0 million -- the single largest online content deal ever. Becker's experience also includes work for Time Inc.'s Integrated Sales and Marketing group, The National Sports Daily Newspaper, and Newsweek Magazine.

Currently Becker runs Becker & Associates consults with early-stage companies and companies in turnaround on operational and marketing development issues. Becker has an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and BA from Vassar College. Becker lives with his wife and daughter in Brooklyn Heights.
