Lauri "Late" Karhunen
Aluejohtaja, Jyväskylä-Kuopio
Entinen valmentaja/jääkiekkoilija
Late on tiimin ”luotto sentteri”. Hän kiteyttää yhteistä ajattelua, mutta tuo myös oman monipuolisen näkemyksensä asiaan kuin asiaan.
Hän on kehittäjäluonne ja omaa erinomaiset keskustelun, neuvottelun ja esiintymisen taidot. Hän tuo tiimille pisimmän työkokemuksen urheilu-uran ulkopuolelta. Hänen aiempi työuransa valmennus-, opetus- ja johtamistehtävissä on antanut urheilu- ja yritysverkoston lisäksi taitoja motivoida, sitouttaa ja rakentaa toimivaa yhteistyötä.
Laten vahvuuksia on itsenäisen ahkeran ja positiivisen työpanoksen lisäksi luotettavien ihmissuhteiden rakentaminen. Kiitosta Late saa välittävästä otteestaan niin asiakkailta, kuin työntekijöiltä.
Late kertoo viihtyvänsä positiivisten, oppivien ja uteliaiden ihmisten ympärillä. Myös tästä syystä Unitedista on tullut hänelle tärkeä ”koti”.
