Building on its newly unveiled data centre risk management framework, Willis, a WTW business, has launched its Global Digital Infrastructure Group led by Alastair Swift, Head of Willis Global Specialties.
According to Willis, the new group has been established to “redefine and address” the risks facing data centre owners, operators, contractors, and hyperscalers worldwide.
“This new cross-functional team brings together deep expertise across multiple sectors and geographies, including construction, energy, technology and cyber, real estate, supply chain, data analytics, risk engineering and financial as well as emerging risks,” Willis added.
The Global Digital Infrastructure Group will reportedly harness its deep industry knowledge and specialised expertise to support clients across the data centre ecosystem, helping them strengthen long-term competitiveness and resilience, reduce operational disruption, and optimise balance sheet protection.
The group also aims to drive sustainable growth, safeguard client trust and reputation, and reinforce corporate integrity while supporting global expansion, boosting operational resilience, improving cost efficiency, and enabling smooth business transformation to build stronger, more resilient organisations.
“Together, this global community of Willis experts provide knowledge and insights to deliver customized, end-to-end advisory and risk solutions that span the entire digital infrastructure lifecycle—from early planning, site selection and construction to managing alternative power generation, cyber, climate, natural catastrophe and supply chain risks,” Willis concluded.
Swift commented, “As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, the launch of Willis’ Global Digital Infrastructure Group underscores our long-standing commitment to bringing specialist expertise together.
“This unique approach is already helping our clients stay ahead of the sector’s developments and risk trends.
“For data centers, this means tailored, client‑first solutions that protect physical assets, strengthen financial resilience, and support reliable operations at scale. Clients get clarity, confidence and the right cover based on their unique needs.”
