Antwan D Harrington
AVP & Head - Strategic Onsite Resourcing


My name is Antwan Harrington, a proud Mphasian and Human Resources Professional.

As an 8-year veteran at Mphasis, I have the pleasure of leading the Onsite Strategic Resourcing effort. My passion for Human Resources began 25 years ago, while serving in the United States Army as a Human Resources Specialist! It was then where it was aparent to me that caring for people despite their race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientationor religious belief was a matter of great importance.

I bring this to the table every day in our recruiting efforts and instill this into our recruiting team. We don't focus on the nuisances that potentially can divide us but embrace what unites us, being human! We also embrace and celebrate our differences!

They are embedded in our culture and brings an apreciation for what everyone has to offer the organization. At Mphasis we celebrate diversity and embody an inclusive culture which is evident through our recruiting efforts, mentorship and development programs and our endeavour is to uplift all individuals! In this organization we have the tough conversations and address situations directly. Our Mantra says it all...The Next Applied!

"Mphasis gave me the opportunity to gain respect in my own eyes and that of my family and friends. Life is not always fair, and my transition from being an abled person to an amputee with prosthetic legs was not easy.

The nondiscriminatory environment at Mphasis towards Persons with Disability(PWD) helped me feel normal again, The inclusive, barrier-free atmosphere provided me with a cross functional oppportunity for growth and learning as well as giving me freedom to explore and fulfill my dreams and goals"

Sharanya Vijay
Cognitive Services Module Lead


1. What made you rejoin Mphasis?
When I rejoined Mphasis in 2018, I had come off a career break due to motherhood. I had upskilled myself with an industry-relevant course as I was seeking fulfilling work to utilize my new skills and experience. Mphasis was the first company I contacted as I heard of its Second Careers Women program that creates opportunities for women returning from a break. This gave me a jump start on my second career path.

2. What is your current area of work?
I work in the AI/ML space, building and deploying AI algorithms for one of Mphasis' premier clients.

3. With WFH, boundaries between home and work have blurred. Would this pull more women in the workplace or push them out of it?
I have scheduled work timings and found work-life balance in WFH. This could certainly increase women's participation in the workforce.

4. What was our organizational culture before for women and working mothers? Do you feel the compant makes annual efforts towards improving the culture for this cohort?
Forward-thinking organizations like Mphasis are beginning to recognize that women with career gaps have a lot to offer and would like to be on the field because they enjoy the challenge at work. Today, many of our male leaders actively strive to break the stereotype and fiercely advocate for women's growth.

5. What are the qualities or areas that the women should focus to continue being ambitious in their career?
Education and skill sets are the foundation stones. Abilities can be further developed with sheer dedication and hard work. Possessing niche skills will allow one to be exceptional. Also by fostering genuine connections, one can always be on top of new opportunities.

6. Your thoughts on Mphasis being a women-friendly organization in terms of support, flexibility etc.
We have many initiatives to promote diversity and inclusion at Mphasis that build an inclusive culture and provide growth opportunities for working women. Flexible working hours and work from home aid in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

"As a person, I've been driven by the philosophy that the word IMPOSSIBLE itself says "I'M POSSIBLE".

Life in general, will constantly throw curveballs at us, it's our attitude that determines the outcome.
As a leader, I gravitate towards being an authentic leader - aligned in belief, thought, word and action. I've seen it enabling genuine connections, evoking a higher level of trust and confidence in people and motivating superior performance resulting in high IMPACT.
