"From starting my own ATM company, ATM Solutions, in Melbourne in 2001 to operating Australia's largest ATM network today, the past 10 years have been an incredible journey," he said. "I am immensely honored to receive an award recognizing my service, dedication and commitment to the ATM industry, and I look forward to continuing to work in this exciting progressive industry," said Wildash.
