monopolizer
Conversation hog, basically
A monopolizer is someone who takes exclusive control of something, preventing others from sharing it.
The term applies literally to business—a company that monopolizes a market—but more often describes social behavior: He's a monopolizer of conversations, She's a monopolizer of the boss's attention.
The word carries disapproval, implying selfishness or inconsideration.
