Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, has been selected as one of the honorees for the "Top Entrepreneur of the USA Awards 2026," an event organized by Negocios y Ejecutiva Magazine. The awards ceremony will take place on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami, as part of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. Shahbazyan's distinction highlights his impact as an entrepreneur, his contributions to business growth, and the value he brings to his projects.
Starlife Group, under Shahbazyan's leadership, has established itself as a comprehensive real estate firm. Shahbazyan explained his vision: "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." This integrated approach aims to streamline operations and eliminate common industry inefficiencies, such as information gaps and supplier disputes, by having a single responsible operator overseeing the entire value chain.
The "Top Entrepreneur of the USA" awards are designed to honor entrepreneurs and business leaders who have demonstrated exceptional performance and leadership. The recognition celebrates dedication, innovation, and positive community impact. The event will include a cocktail reception and formal dinner, providing networking opportunities and a platform to foster new alliances within the entrepreneurial community. The awards are organized annually by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, which are leading Spanish-language business publications in South Florida.
Negocios Magazine and Ejecutiva Magazine were founded in 2013 by journalist Eduardo Hapke and attorney Karen Blanco. Available in print and digital formats, they focus on entrepreneurs and business news. Their websites, www.negociosmagazine.com and www.ejecutivamagazine.com, provide daily updates and extensive social media distribution. The magazines are also distributed via PressReader and issuu.com, reaching a wide audience in hotels, businesses, airlines, and cruise lines.
Shahbazyan's recognition underscores the importance of integrated business models in real estate and the role of immigrant entrepreneurs in the U.S. economy. The award not only celebrates individual achievement but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs. The ceremony promises to highlight the contributions of business leaders who drive innovation and economic growth.
