KPMG, an American audit, tax, and advisory firm, has announced signing a partnership agreement with American professional tennis player Jessica Pegula, roping her in as a brand ambassador.
As part of the agreement, the 30-year-old will sport the KPMG logo on her racquet bag throughout the coming tennis season.
Currently ranked No. 6 in the world, Pegula achieved a career-high WTA singles ranking of #3 in October 2022, ascending to the top of the doubles’ rankings in September 2023.
Off the court, Pegula is a member of the WTA player board as well as an entrepreneur, having founded her own line of skincare products, Ready 24. She was named in Forbes‘ “30 Under 30” list last year in recognition of her business acumen and innovative spirit. Through the charitable organisation “A Lending Paw”, she is also actively involved in efforts to rescue and re-home dogs in need as well as train service dogs to support individuals with disabilities.
KPMG’s US sports sponsorship portfolio includes investments in the Women’s PGA Championship, the Women’s Leadership Summit, brand ambassadors on the PGA and LPGA Tours, title sponsorship of Stephen Curry’s UNDERRATED Golf Tour, and other strategic initiatives.
National Sports Industry Leader for KPMG, Shawn Quill, said:
“Jessica demonstrates a commitment to excellence on and off the tennis court and we are thrilled to welcome her to the KPMG family. We believe Jessica is the ideal brand ambassador to help KPMG expand into the sport of tennis as we broaden our sports sponsorship portfolio.“
Jessica Pegula added:
“KPMG has been such a great supporter of elevating women’s sports over the years and growing the game is something I am really passionate about too. I’m excited to join Team KPMG as the firm expands into women’s tennis and look forward to what we will achieve together.“
