Kelly Hoppen joined the British programme Dragon's Den in series 11, first broadcast in 2013.
Hoppen is an interior designer and businesswoman whose design career included a distinctive style known for neutral colours and clean lines. Her professional background differed from the retail, technology and leisure experience represented by several other investors.
Her tenure on the programme was comparatively brief compared with some of the longest-serving dragons. She is therefore associated with series 11 and the early 2010s rather than the show's launch period.
Series numbers can be confused with calendar years because the programme has not always followed a simple one-series-per-year pattern. The year 2013 identifies the first broadcast of the relevant series, while her career began long before her television appearance.
