MIAMI, FL — Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, has been selected to receive the distinction as one of the '2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA' by Negocios y Ejecutiva Magazine. The award will be presented on October 8, 2026, during Hispanic Heritage Month at the EB Hotel in Miami, as part of the 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA Awards 2026' ceremony.
Shahbazyan's recognition stems from his leadership in creating Starlife Group, a company that controls all stages of the real estate lifecycle, including development, construction, financing, mortgages, brokerage, insurance, property management, and asset protection. In an interview with Miami Negocios magazine, Shahbazyan explained, 'My vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a single company that controls all stages of the real estate lifecycle... all under one roof. From an investor’s perspective, this means working with a single responsible operator who controls the entire value chain.'
The 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA' awards celebrate entrepreneurs and business leaders who demonstrate exceptional performance and leadership, highlighting their dedication, innovation, and positive impact on communities. The event, organized by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, will feature a cocktail reception and formal dinner, providing networking opportunities and fostering new alliances. Negocios and Ejecutiva, founded by journalist Eduardo Hapke and attorney Karen Blanco in 2013, are the only Spanish-language business magazines in South Florida focused on entrepreneurs, published in print and digital formats. Their websites, Negocios Magazine and Ejecutiva Magazine, provide daily news updates and extensive social media distribution. The magazines are also available on PressReader and issuu.com.
Shahbazyan's integrated approach addresses common industry challenges such as finger-pointing between suppliers and information gaps between departments. By controlling the entire value chain, Starlife Group ensures a single standard and outcome, which has contributed to the company's growth and Shahbazyan's recognition as a top entrepreneur. The award ceremony promises to be a memorable celebration of achievement, innovation, and leadership in the U.S. entrepreneurial community.
