MIAMI, FL — Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, will be honored as one of the “2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA” at an awards ceremony hosted by Negocios Magazine and Ejecutiva Magazine on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami. The event, held during Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrates entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional performance, innovation, and leadership.
Shahbazyan’s recognition stems from his vision to integrate all stages of the real estate lifecycle under one company. “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,” he told Miami Negocios magazine. This integrated approach, he explains, eliminates information gaps and mutual accusations between suppliers, offering investors a single responsible operator for the entire value chain.
The “Top Entrepreneur of the USA” awards are presented annually by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, Spanish-language business publications based in South Florida. The ceremony includes a cocktail reception and formal dinner, providing networking opportunities for entrepreneurs and community leaders. Attendees will witness the official award presentation, recognizing contributions to business growth and community impact.
Shahbazyan’s company, Starlife Group, highlighted the honor in a social media post: “Behind every great company is a leader who never stopped believing in their vision. Our founder and CEO, Gevorg, will be recognized as one of the ‘2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA’ for his impact as an entrepreneur, his contribution to business growth, and the value he brings to every project he develops.”
The event is organized by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, founded in 2013 by journalist Eduardo Hapke and attorney Karen Blanco. These publications are the only Spanish-language business magazines in South Florida focused on entrepreneurs, available in print, digital, and on platforms such as PressReader and issuu.com. They 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 underscores the importance of entrepreneurial leadership in driving economic growth and innovation. By honoring leaders like Shahbazyan, the awards inspire others to pursue excellence and contribute positively to their communities. The October 8 ceremony promises to be a memorable celebration of achievement, fostering new alliances and collaborations among the region’s business elite.
