Founding Team

Built by people
who've done it before.

MYELION is led by a team that has been building together for four years across three ventures — earning world-stage recognition at every step.

Founder & CEO

Zulal heads the development of CSF Core end-to-end — the Cross-Scale Fusion mechanism, the compilation pipeline, the deployment infrastructure — and sets the direction for every technical decision the company makes.

She also leads MYELION's IP strategy, partner relationships, and go-to-market execution.

Her track record spans three ventures with this team — all of which achieved world-stage recognition. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, TOYP Global Award recipient, Microsoft Imagine Cup World Champion, and recipient of the WIPO Best Patent Award, among other global distinctions.

She has been mentored by Satya Nadella and guided through the NVIDIA ecosystem with support from Chris Malachowsky.

Track Record

Three ventures. One team.

MYELION's founding team has built and scaled together across three ventures — each one expanding the scope of what the team could achieve.

VENTURE 01

From Your Eyes

The team's first venture — a platform that pushed the boundaries of on-device AI perception. It established the foundational partnership and demonstrated the team's ability to build and ship competitive AI products.

VENTURE 02

NeuroVision

A deep-tech venture focused on on-device Federated Learning for Vision-Language Models. During this work, the team hit the structural limitation that would become the foundation for CSF Core — the Efficiency Wall. NeuroVision brought the team into the NVIDIA ecosystem and earned world-stage recognition.

VENTURE 03

MYELION

The architectural breakthrough that emerged from the constraints of NeuroVision. Instead of shrinking legacy models, the team built a new architectural foundation — CSF Core. MYELION was established as the corporate identity to scale this architecture commercially and protect it through IP.
