Evan Davis presented the British television programme Dragon's Den from its launch.
Davis is a British economist, journalist and broadcaster who became the programme's original presenter when Dragon's Den began in 2005. The presenter introduces the entrepreneurs, frames the pitches and links the separate negotiations, while the dragons conduct the questioning and decide whether to invest.
His role differs from that of the investors. Davis does not sit on the panel making offers; instead, he guides viewers through the structure of the programme and provides continuity between the pitches. This distinction can cause confusion because the dragons receive most of the programme's attention.
Davis has also been associated with BBC current-affairs and business broadcasting, including Newsnight and The Bottom Line. The answer is Evan Davis, not another BBC presenter who has hosted a business or interview programme. His connection to Dragon's Den dates from the UK show's first series.
