Willis, the insurance and advisory services arm of WTW, has created a dedicated Global Digital Infrastructure Group to serve the rapidly expanding data center sector. The new unit will offer comprehensive risk management and advisory services tailored to the unique operational and infrastructure challenges facing data center operators and technology companies.
Led by Alastair Swift, the group brings together professionals with expertise spanning construction, energy management, technology infrastructure, cybersecurity, and real estate. This multidisciplinary approach enables the team to address risks across the entire lifecycle of digital infrastructure assets, from planning and construction through ongoing operations and maintenance.
The initiative targets data center owners, operators, and hyperscalers—large-scale technology companies that build and manage extensive computing infrastructure. By consolidating specialized knowledge within a single group, Willis aims to provide clients with coordinated solutions for the complex and evolving risk landscape in the digital infrastructure industry.
