Evan Davis is the presenter of the BBC television programme Dragon's Den.
Davis became the show's original presenter when the British version began in 2005. His role is to guide entrepreneurs into the den, introduce the pitches, and keep the negotiations moving while the investors question the business owners.
The presenter is not one of the Dragons. The Dragons are the investors seated on the other side of the pitch area, while Davis acts as the programme's host and intermediary. This distinction is sometimes blurred because he is regularly present during the negotiations.
Davis is also known for his work as a BBC journalist and broadcaster. Before Dragon's Den, he presented Radio 4's Today programme and later became a familiar television news presenter. The series has changed its panel of investors many times, but Davis has remained closely associated with the programme's British edition.
