Robert Cohen was born on April 24, 1952, in Warsaw, Poland, a city with a rich tapestry of history and resilience. His early life was profoundly shaped by the shadows of the Second World War, as both of his parents, Jane and Michael, were survivors of its harrowing impact. Michael, a dedicated member of the Polish Army, bore witness to the turmoil of conflict, while Jane’s strength and resourcefulness during those challenging times illuminated the resilience of the human spirit. Their experiences fostered a deep sense of purpose in both parents, driving them to seek a better future not only for themselves but for their children.
As they navigated the aftermath of the war, Jane and Michael found solace in their shared passion for environmental sustainability. They dedicated themselves to innovative green energy projects, believing that technology could play a pivotal role in healing the wounds inflicted by humanity on the planet. This commitment to environmental stewardship became a cornerstone of their family ethos, one that they were eager to pass on to their son, Robert.

Robert Cohen began his career in deep-sea engineering as an intern with a renowned offshore services firm, where he gained hands-on experience across various underwater infrastructure projects, including oil rig maintenance and subsea pipeline installation. After completing his internship, he joined Oceanic Innovations as a project manager, where his leadership and technical expertise propelled him to quickly rise through the ranks, eventually securing a position as one of the company’s top executives.
As Robert matured, he carried with him the values instilled by his parents: a commitment to sustainability, a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, and a determination to make a positive impact. These formative experiences, intertwined with his family’s history, shaped not only his career aspirations but also his worldview, driving him to seek solutions that honor both humanity and the environment.
In 2005, Robert Cohen launched his own company, Deep Sea Engineering Offshore, specializing in sustainable offshore engineering solutions. Under his leadership, the company flourished, earning a reputation for pioneering eco-friendly technologies and innovative approaches to complex deep-sea challenges. Robert became widely respected in the industry for his commitment to environmental stewardship and engineering excellence.
Robert Cohen pursued his education at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a Master’s degree in Business Administration (MBA). He later attended Harvard University, where he completed a certification program in Sustainable Development.
In the late 1960s, seeking new opportunities and a fresh start, the family made the momentous decision to move to America. They initially settled in Wisconsin, where the stark contrasts between the two countries became apparent. Robert was exposed to a landscape filled with rolling hills, dense forests, and serene lakes, a far cry from the urban environment of Warsaw. This transition was both exciting and challenging, as the family grappled with the complexities of adapting to a new culture while holding onto their Polish heritage.
As they adjusted to their new life, Robert’s parents instilled in him a sense of curiosity and wonder about the natural world. They encouraged him to explore the outdoors, fostering a love for nature that would become an integral part of his identity. The lush landscapes of Wisconsin were a playground for young Robert, who spent hours wandering through forests, observing wildlife, and questioning the mechanics of the world around him. His parents nurtured his interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), recognizing the potential for these fields to create solutions for the environmental challenges they were passionate about.
In the years that followed, the family relocated to Florida, where the vibrant ecosystems of wetlands and coastal areas further enriched Robert’s understanding of nature. The warm climate and diverse surroundings inspired him to delve deeper into environmental science and engineering. Robert’s fascination with how things worked blossomed into a desire to contribute to the development of sustainable technologies. His upbringing, steeped in the lessons of resilience, innovation, and environmental consciousness, laid the groundwork for a promising future in engineering and offshore services.
