Which entrepreneur became a Dragon on Dragon's Den in 2015 after replacing Piers Linney?

Touker Suleyman became a Dragon on Dragon's Den in 2015 after replacing Piers Linney.

Suleyman is a British-Turkish Cypriot entrepreneur and investor whose business interests have included fashion, retail and manufacturing. He joined the British programme for its thirteenth series, taking a place on the panel after Piers Linney departed.

His career included the acquisition and development of fashion businesses, including Hawes & Curtis and Ghost. On Dragon's Den, he became associated with practical questions about product quality, retail distribution, manufacturing and the route from a promising idea to a viable company.

The date is often mixed up with later appointments. Tej Lalvani joined the panel in 2017, while Steven Bartlett arrived in 2021. Suleyman's name is also sometimes misspelled because of its Turkish origin, but “Touker Suleyman” is the standard form used in English-language sources.
