I quite like Sponsored-by: but yet another approach could be the same as that used by those of us whole use personal email addresses while being employed by someone. So my SoB is:
Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>
but you might have (eg)
Laurent Pinchard (Coca-Cola) <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
and then when working for another sponsor:
Laurent Pinchard (Ford) <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
