Evan Davis became the main presenter of Dragons' Den after Adrian Chiles.
Davis is a British economist, journalist and broadcaster. He took over presenting the BBC business series after Chiles and became closely identified with its interview-led pitch format.
His background in economics and journalism suited a programme built around questions about revenue, margins, markets and company valuation. In the den, he helps introduce the businesses and provides continuity between the entrepreneurs’ pitches and the investors’ negotiations.
Adrian Chiles remains the original presenter, which is the key distinction between the two broadcasters. Davis’s long association with the programme means he is often remembered first, even though he did not present the opening series.
