People who know these things have said that Zen was principally designed by a different individual, not Keller. I'm trying to find the link/who that person is.

Mike Clark. I have no inside information but the rumor I have read is that Keller was mostly responsible for the cancelled AMD ARM effort while Clark did Zen. Clark is explicitly credited as the architect/principal designer for Zen 2.
Mike Clark (~tech lead) and Suzanne Plummer (~engineering group lead) are usually mentioned as the most important people.
