Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, will receive the distinction as one of the '2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA' at the awards ceremony organized by Negocios y Ejecutiva Magazine. The event, scheduled for October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami, is part of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations.
Shahbazyan's recognition stems from his impact as an entrepreneur and his contribution to business growth, particularly through Starlife Group's integrated real estate model. 'My vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a single company that controls all stages of the real estate lifecycle: development, construction, financing, mortgages, brokerage, insurance, property management, and asset protection, all under one roof,' Shahbazyan told Miami Negocios magazine. 'From an investor's perspective, this means working with a single responsible operator who controls the entire value chain. There are no mutual accusations between suppliers. There are no information gaps between departments. There is one team, one standard, one outcome.'
The 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA' awards, organized by Negocios Magazine and Ejecutiva Magazine, honor entrepreneurs and business leaders who demonstrate exceptional performance and leadership. The ceremony includes a cocktail reception and formal dinner, providing networking opportunities for attendees to connect with other entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, founded by journalist Eduardo Hapke and attorney Karen Blanco in 2013, are the only Spanish-language business magazines in South Florida focused on entrepreneurs. They are published monthly in print and digital formats, with daily news updates on their websites. The magazines are also distributed via PressReader and issuu.com, and are part of the Acta Diurna Urbis Group Corp. media group, which also publishes Welcome a América, Salud & Buen Vivir Florida, Hispanic Time, and Hispanic Time: Electric Cars Plus.
This recognition highlights the importance of entrepreneurship within the Hispanic community and the broader U.S. economy. Shahbazyan's integrated approach to real estate exemplifies innovation, potentially setting a new standard for efficiency and accountability in the industry. The awards ceremony not only celebrates individual achievements but also fosters collaborations that could drive future business growth.
