Assuming leadership of this new organization, David Dove has joined Cardtronics' senior leadership team as Group President of Enterprise Growth, reporting to CEO Steve Rathgaber.

Dove now brings his 30 years of payments and retail financial services industry experience in-house at Cardtronics, having served the company as a strategy consultant since 2009 as part of his role as Managing General Partner of Dove Capital Partners. During that time, Dove made significant contributions to key initiatives, including the recent acquisition of Cardpoint Limited, which more than doubled Cardtronics' ATM portfolio in the United Kingdom and expanded the company's footprint into Germany.

Cardtronics CEO Steve Rathgaber said:
"Cardtronics now provides convenient access to cash at more than 80,000 locations situated in premier retail locations in North America and Europe, representing growth of approximately 50,000 ATMs in the past three-plus years."

"A diverse growth engine has powered the expansion of Cardtronics in recent years, with contributions coming from organic- and acquisition-based growth, as well as ATM traffic-driving initiatives increasingly tied to an enhanced consumer experience by way of product innovation. David Dove, given his extensive payments and financial services background, combined with his intimate knowledge of our business, is well suited to help Cardtronics enter a new era of blended growth highlighted by product development."

Cardtronics Enterprise Growth Group President David Dove said:
"In the four years I have worked with Cardtronics as a consultant, I have had an opportunity to work with a very talented team to help position the company for sustained and profitable growth. Steve Rathgaber gave me an opportunity to come inside to help drive the company forward, and in doing so build on what has become a very powerful growth platform."

"We interact with more than a million consumers every day — and are visible to many more as they pass by our portfolio of convenient locations during their daily routine. Given this unrivaled distribution network combined with the position we have established at the intersection of hundreds of financial institutions and thousands of premier retail partners, I am confident that we have growth potential ahead of us."
