Former Corporate Executive Sentenced To 26 Months In Prison For Insider Trading Scheme

United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, announced that PAUL JORGENSEN, the former Chief Revenue Officer of Doximity, was sentenced on May 21, 2026, by U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla to 26 months in prison for committing securities fraud in connection with a multimillion-dollar scheme to trade in stock and options of Doximity based on inside information in advance of the company's quarterly earnings calls.

"While employed as a senior executive at Doximity, Paul Jorgensen repeatedly used Doximity's confidential information to trade in advance of the company's quarterly earnings calls, earning himself more than $2.5 million in illegal profits," said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. "Insider trading destroys faith in the fairness and integrity of our markets. This Office is committed to protecting market integrity and rooting out bad actors. As this prosecution and sentence make clear, executives who trade on their company's confidential information will be prosecuted."

According to the allegations in the Information and statements made in public court proceedings:

JORGENSEN engaged in a scheme to reap illegal profits by trading on material nonpublic information regarding Doximity, a publicly-traded company, in violation of the duties of trust and confidence owed to the company and its shareholders.

Doximity is an online networking service for medical professionals that trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "DOCS." JORGENSEN joined Doximity in 2017 and became Chief Revenue Officer in 2022. As a senior executive at Doximity, JORGENSEN had access to confidential information about Doximity's financial outlook, performance, and earnings results, and owed a duty of trust and confidence to the company. Doximity restricted its employees from trading in the lead-up to the company's quarterly earnings calls, and from engaging in options trading. Doximity further required all employees to hold their Doximity shares in company-monitored brokerage accounts.

In July 2022, as Chief Revenue Officer, JORGENSEN became aware that Doximity's add-on sales to clients, referred to as "upsells," had declined over the previous quarter. On July 28, 2022, JORGENSEN attended a Board meeting in advance of the upcoming earnings call in which the company's negative results were discussed. Following the Board meeting, JORGENSEN texted a close family member that he was "[n]ot selling [his] DOCS shares" because he had "non-public confidential info and it's just not right to sell." Two days later, however, after JORGENSEN learned that he had been reassigned to a sales role at the company, JORGENSEN texted the same family member that he "decided to sell [his] DOCS shares" because he needed to "protect us first and foremost." The following day, JORGENSEN sold 61,162 shares of Doximity that he secretly held in a personal brokerage account.

During the company's quarterly earnings call on August 4, 2022, Doximity publicly announced its negative results regarding upsells and lowered its annual guidance by six percent. Doximity's share price fell by approximately seven percent, and JORGENSEN avoided losses of more than $300,000.

In 2023, JORGENSEN again traded based on Doximity's confidential information. In July 2023, JORGENSEN became aware that Doximity's upsells had continued to decline over the previous quarter. In addition, on July 13, 2023, JORGENSEN learned that he was being terminated as part of a larger round of layoffs, and that the layoffs would be announced on the company's upcoming quarterly earnings call. In advance of the earnings call, JORGENSEN sold 15,000 shares of Doximity stock, earning $114,000 in illicit profits, and 1,300 call options, earning an additional $200,000 in illicit profits. JORGENSEN also purchased 4,700 put options using his personal brokerage account.

During the company's quarterly earnings call on August 8, 2023, Doximity publicly announced its company layoffs and negative results regarding upsells and lowered its annual guidance by eight to nine percent. Doximity's share price fell by approximately 23 percent. Following the earnings call, JORGENSEN closed out his put position, earning nearly two million dollars in illicit profits. JORGENSEN was terminated from Doximity in August 2023.

In addition to the prison sentence, JORGENSEN, 53, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was sentenced to two years of supervised release and ordered to pay $2,532,775.52 in forfeiture.

Mr. Clayton praised the outstanding work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Mr. Clayton also thanked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for its cooperation and assistance in this investigation.

The case is being handled by the Office's Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexandra Rothman is in charge of the prosecution.
