Sir Alexander Maxwell "Sandy" Crombie (born 8 February 1949), is a British businessman, chairman of LendingCrowd, chairman of Amiqus Resolution, former chair of Creative Scotland, former non-executive director of Royal Bank of Scotland Group, and formerly the chief executive officer (CEO) of Standard Life, a FTSE 100 long term savings and investment business.
As head of investment operations in the UK, Crombie assumed control over Standard Life Portfolio Management activities, the precursor to Standard Life Investments. By 1998, Crombie and Scott Bell were in discussions to create Standard life Investments as a separate brand, specifically to manage the company's investment activities, and he was appointed CEO upon its establishment.
He was appointed head of the Association of British Insurers' investment committee in 2002.
When Scott Bell retired in 2002, Crombie was appointed deputy CEO, and, upon Iain Lumsden's retirement, Crombie took over as CEO of Standard Life, while continuing as CEO of Standard Life Investments.
In 2010, Crombie became president of the Cockburn Association, Edinburgh's long-running conservationist charity.
