Through various roles, including service under President Nixon and private consulting, Means navigated critical shifts in economic policy, particularly in Latin America, while influencing the socio-political landscape. His daughter, Casey Means, is nominated as Surgeon General by President Trump, suggesting a continuation of his legacy in public service and governance.
