Willis Towers Watson announced the creation of a Global Digital Infrastructure Group on February 26, 2026. The new unit is designed to deliver end‑to‑end advisory and risk solutions for data‑center owners, operators, contractors and hyperscalers worldwide, covering the full digital‑infrastructure lifecycle from site selection and construction to alternative power generation, cyber, climate, natural catastrophe and supply‑chain challenges.
The group is headed by Alastair Swift, Head of Willis Global Specialties, and brings together expertise in construction, energy, technology, cyber, real‑estate, supply‑chain, data analytics, risk engineering and finance. By combining these disciplines, the unit aims to provide integrated risk management that addresses the complex, multi‑layered threats facing modern data‑center operations.
The launch comes at a time when the data‑center market is expanding rapidly. Projections estimate the data‑center security market will reach USD 49.08 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 11.89% from 2025 to 2034. WTW’s new group positions the company to capture a share of this growth and strengthen its competitive moat against specialized insurers and technology consultancies.
WTW’s Q4 2025 earnings reinforced the strategic rationale for the new group. The company reported earnings per share of $8.12 versus analyst expectations of $7.93, a beat of $0.19 or 2.4%. Revenue for the quarter was $2.94 billion, up 2.4% from the $2.87 billion consensus. Adjusted operating margin expanded to 36.9% from 36.1% year‑over‑year, driven by disciplined expense management and operating leverage. CFO Andrew Krasner said, "We delivered solid organic revenue growth of 6% and expanded adjusted operating margin by 80 basis points year‑over‑year to 36.9%…" CEO Carl Hess added, "Given our competitive advantages and momentum across the business, I'm confident in our ability to deliver on our goals."
The new Global Digital Infrastructure Group aligns with WTW’s broader brand strategy of simplifying its go‑to‑market identity under the Willis name. By offering comprehensive data‑center risk solutions, the company seeks to open new revenue opportunities in a sector that is expanding rapidly as global digital demand continues to rise. The launch signals WTW’s commitment to leveraging its cross‑functional expertise to meet the evolving needs of the data‑center industry and to reinforce its position as a leading provider of risk and advisory services.
