Touker Suleyman became a Dragon on the UK television show Dragon's Den in 2015.
Suleyman joined the programme as a regular investor during its thirteenth series. He is a fashion and retail entrepreneur, best known for his ownership of the clothing retailer Hawes & Curtis and his involvement with Ghost, the British fashion brand. Those interests made him a natural fit for pitches involving consumer products, retail, and clothing.
He replaced former Dragon Piers Linney on the panel. Suleyman's arrival was part of a period in which the programme refreshed its line-up while retaining long-serving investors such as Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden.
The date can be mixed up with Suleyman's earlier business milestones, including his acquisition of Hawes & Curtis and his work in textile manufacturing. Those events belong to his commercial career; 2015 is the year associated with his arrival on Dragon's Den.
