Aon announced senior leadership appointments to strengthen its capabilities in digital infrastructure as global demand for data centers and AI-related investments accelerates.

The company appointed Stephen Fox as Managing Director within its Digital Infrastructure Lifecycle Solutions practice and named Brian Hearst as Global Digital Infrastructure Builders Risk Leader. The move aims to enhance Aon’s ability to support clients navigating complex financing, insurance, and risk challenges tied to large-scale infrastructure projects.

Aon said the expansion reflects increasing demand for integrated risk and capital strategies, particularly as digital infrastructure becomes more capital-intensive and critical to global economies.

The firm emphasized that the new leadership will help clients improve project execution, secure financing capacity, and manage risk more effectively across complex, high-value investments.
