Touker Suleyman joined the British TV programme Dragons' Den in 2015 after building a career in fashion retail.
Suleyman is a British entrepreneur and investor whose commercial career has included clothing, footwear and retail businesses. He became a Dragon in the programme’s thirteenth series, adding experience in manufacturing, sourcing and consumer brands to the panel.
His name is sometimes mixed up with Nick Jenkins, who also joined the programme in 2015. Jenkins was known primarily for building the online greeting-card business Moonpig, whereas Suleyman’s public business identity is closely associated with fashion and retail.
Suleyman was born in Famagusta, Cyprus, and moved to London as a child. His investment approach on the programme often reflects his interest in whether a product can be manufactured efficiently and sold through a scalable retail operation.
