Evan Davis was the British Dragon's Den presenter who was also the BBC's economics editor.
Davis presented Dragon's Den from 2005, helping establish the show's interview style as entrepreneurs faced questions from the investor panel. He was also a prominent BBC journalist and served as the corporation's economics editor, bringing an economics and business background to his broadcasting career.
The role is sometimes confused with Adrian Chiles, who presented the first series, or with other BBC presenters who have hosted factual programmes. Davis's connection is distinctive because his Dragon's Den work overlapped with a senior economics-news role at the BBC.
A presenter is not one of the Dragons. Davis moderated pitches and introduced the entrepreneurs, while the investors decided whether to make offers. That separation matters because the programme's presenter history and investor history changed independently over the years.
