Evan Davis has hosted the British version of Dragons' Den since the programme began in the UK.
Davis is a British economist, journalist and broadcaster. Before becoming associated with the business-pitch series, he was known for presenting business and current-affairs programmes, including work for the BBC's economics and news coverage.
On Dragons' Den, his role is different from that of the investors. He introduces the pitches, provides links between scenes and helps viewers follow the commercial stakes, while the dragons question entrepreneurs and negotiate possible deals.
A common mix-up is confusing the presenter with the dragons. Davis has not been one of the investors on the regular panel; the business decisions belong to the entrepreneurs and the dragons. His long-running association with the programme has made him one of its most recognisable figures.
