Evan Davis became the long-running host of the UK television show Dragon's Den.
Davis is a British broadcaster and journalist who has presented the programme since its early years. His role is to introduce the entrepreneurs, explain the basic circumstances of each pitch and maintain the pace of negotiations. The Dragons, rather than Davis, decide whether to make offers.
Before and alongside Dragon's Den, Davis was known for BBC news and current-affairs broadcasting. He presented the BBC Radio 4 programme Today and later chaired Newsnight, giving him a public profile beyond business television. His measured interviewing style suits pitches in which investors ask for precise figures and challenge optimistic valuations.
Adrian Woolfe presented the first series, so Davis is not the answer to questions about the original host. This distinction is useful because the programme's familiar voice and its first presenter are different people.
