MIAMI, FL — 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 to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The awards ceremony will take place on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami, featuring a cocktail reception and formal dinner.
Shahbazyan’s recognition stems from his visionary approach to real estate. Under his leadership, Starlife Group has integrated all stages of the real estate lifecycle—development, construction, financing, mortgages, brokerage, insurance, property management, and asset protection—into a single company. As Shahbazyan explained to Miami Negocios magazine, this model ensures accountability and efficiency: “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 are designed to honor entrepreneurs and business leaders who have demonstrated exceptional performance and leadership, highlighting their dedication, innovation, and positive impact on communities. The event, hosted by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, provides a platform for networking and collaboration among entrepreneurs and community leaders.
Negocios Magazine and Ejecutiva Magazine, 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 updates on their websites: www.negociosmagazine.com and www.ejecutivamagazine.com. The magazines are also distributed through PressReader and issuu.com.
Shahbazyan’s recognition underscores the importance of integrated business models in real estate. By controlling the entire value chain, Starlife Group reduces risks and enhances value for investors. This approach has set a new standard in the industry, demonstrating how vertical integration can lead to greater efficiency and accountability.
The awards ceremony is expected to attract a diverse group of entrepreneurs and business leaders, fostering new alliances and collaborations. As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, the event also celebrates the contributions of Hispanic entrepreneurs to the U.S. economy.
Shahbazyan’s impact extends beyond his company. His leadership philosophy—building a single, cohesive team—serves as a model for other entrepreneurs seeking to scale their businesses while maintaining quality and control. The recognition from Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines highlights his role as a trailblazer in the entrepreneurial community.
