Aon has entered a four-year sponsorship deal with the Australian rowing team and Rowing Australia as athletes prepare for the Tokyo Olympics in three years.

The deal also appoints Aon as risk and insurance partner for the national rowing body.

“Rowing touches local clubs, schools, universities and workplaces across our country and brings together a diverse cross-section of our community,” Rowing Australia Chief Commercial Officer Katherine Ginbey said.

Aon will be naming rights sponsor of the marquee annual Sydney International Rowing Regatta and will have a number of opportunities to connect with the broader rowing community throughout the year.

Aon Risk Solutions Australia CEO Lambros Lambrou says the company has a strong record of supporting elite sports and athletes worldwide, and is making the same commitment here.
