Evan Davis presented Dragon's Den after Adrian Chiles and became the programme's long-serving British host.
Davis took over after Chiles hosted the first two series. As presenter, he introduced entrepreneurs, managed the transitions into and out of the den, and helped explain the financial terms being discussed. He was separate from the investors, whose offers and negotiations formed the central drama.
Davis is a journalist and broadcaster best known for economics and current-affairs work. That background suited a programme built around company valuations, ownership percentages, sales and business plans. His calm interviewing style contrasted with the often rapid exchanges between entrepreneurs and Dragons.
The host is sometimes confused with an investor because the presenter appears in the den and participates in the conversation. However, Davis did not sit on the investment panel. The answer refers to the long-serving presenter who followed the launch host, rather than to any Dragon who joined during the same era.
