presenter

One who announces

A presenter is someone who presents—typically a host or speaker who introduces material to an audience.

In British English, a presenter is what Americans call a TV or radio host: She's a presenter on BBC Radio 4.

In business contexts, a presenter delivers information at meetings or conferences.

The word also applies to anyone formally introducing or offering something: the presenter of an award, the presenter of a gift.
