Evan Davis has presented the British television programme Dragon's Den since its first episode.
Davis is a British journalist, economist and broadcaster. Before becoming associated with the business show, he was well known for his work as the BBC's economics editor and for presenting radio and television news programmes. His role on Dragon's Den is primarily that of presenter and guide rather than investor.
The presenter introduces the entrepreneurs, oversees the progression of each pitch and helps viewers follow the discussions between the business owners and the Dragons. The investors themselves have changed repeatedly across the programme's long run, while Davis has provided continuity from the beginning.
Viewers sometimes mix up the host with one of the Dragons because the presenter is regularly present in the pitch room. Davis does not sit on the investment panel; his job is to frame the pitches and explain the process to the audience.
