About

Lara Stiris

Growth marketing leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling demand generation engines for some of tech's most innovative companies — from building 0→1 at early-stage startups to accelerating revenue growth at enterprise giants like AWS and Twitch.

I specialize in marketing to technical audiences: developers, product managers, and technical decision-makers. As a player-coach, I roll up my sleeves and lead teams through any stage.

What Drives Me:

  • Data Meets Creativity — Analytical rigor combined with creative execution across the full funnel.
  • Brand + Demand — The best marketing creates momentum across multiple touchpoints. Perfect attribution is a myth.
  • Technical Storytelling — Translating complex technical products into compelling value propositions.
  • AI-Powered Marketing — Leveraging AI to amplify results with years of experience curating quality output.

What's in a Name?

Sfumo takes its name from sfumato, Leonardo da Vinci's technique of blending forms from shadow into clarity, without hard edges. It also nods to SF, a city that lives in the fog. The name reflects how I approach growth marketing: I bring channels, signals, and pipeline into focus, pulling clarity out of ambiguity until the picture is undeniable.
