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 on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami. The event, held as part of Hispanic Heritage Month, honors entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and impact in their fields.
Shahbazyan, who founded Starlife Group, has built 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, he explained his vision: '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. There are no mutual accusations between suppliers. There are no information gaps between departments. There is one team, one standard, one outcome.'
Starlife Group highlighted in a social media post that Shahbazyan is being recognized for his impact as an entrepreneur, his contribution to business growth, and the value he brings to every project he develops. The 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA' awards, organized by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, are held annually to honor business leaders who excel in their activities. The cocktail reception and dinner on October 8 will provide an opportunity for networking and celebrating achievements, with attendees including other entrepreneurs and community leaders.
