Evan Davis presented the British series Dragons' Den from its first series until 2012.
Davis was the programme's original presenter when Dragons' Den began in 2005. He introduced the entrepreneurs, explained the pitch process and provided the links between the filmed negotiations and the audience at home. His tenure covered the show's early development and its rise as one of British television's best-known business programmes.
He left the presenting role in 2012, after which the programme continued with different presenters. Davis remained closely associated with serious broadcasting rather than acting as one of the investors, so he should not be confused with the Dragons seated behind the negotiating table.
Evan Davis is also known for his work in BBC economics and current-affairs programming. His business background and clear interviewing style helped make complicated investment discussions understandable to a general audience.
