Jeannie's career in the travel industry started in high school working with Mexicana Airlines. During her tenure at the University of Tampa, she continued her career in the travel industry, following her father's footsteps in the hotel industry. On her return to St. Louis, she worked with Maritz Incentive Travel Company, INTRAV and various travel companies, gaining retail and wholesale travel experience.
At the age of 23, Jeannie was calling on Fortune 500 companies as director of marketing for a large St. Louis corporate travel company while continuing her education at Maryville University in Business Management.
By 1985 she was ready to venture on her own, and with the help of her close-knit family, she founded Cartier Travel & Cruises in St. Louis, MO. Cartier Travel became a very successful Virtuoso travel agency, specializing in the luxury market, and excelling as a top performer in luxury cruise sales. The same year of the company's founding was also the year she met her future husband, Christian Sauleau, Executive Vice President of Operations for Silversea Cruises, and past Executive Vice President for Regent Seven Seas and Royal Viking Cruise Line.
After 15 successful years as owner of Cartier Travel, she sold her company and moved to South Florida in 2002 where she started Sixth Star Travel. Jean currently resides with her husband and son, Jean-Christian, in South Florida.
Now in it’s 8th year of service, Sixth Star Travel also maintains an office in St. Louis, MO headed by Monika Dysart.

“Travel is so much more than making a reservation. It’s developing a rapport to find out what each client is looking for, then developing an experience and wonderful memories. I can arrange details from beginning to end: air, private cars for transportation, luggage shipping, dinner reservations, customized tours, theater tickets, special performances and more.
