Check out the MailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName Property. You should have delegate access to the mailbox/profile on whose behalf you want to send.

Example:

Sub SendEmailOnBehalf()
  Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem

  Set msg = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
  With msg
    .SentOnBehalfOfName = "Jimmy's boss' name"

    .Body = "Hello" & vbNewLine 
  End With
End Sub
