He came in quite early as he was part of Citroen's driver development (I'm not sure about this maybe someone can confirm). After winning JWRC he replaced Duval and did well as Loeb's lieutenant.
Can't say how good he is at developing cars but he was always a very good "number 2" type driver:
- Finish rate (ewrc-results) is 85% (same as Ogier) which is very good. Some more comparisons: Loeb 87%, Hirvonen 81%, Latvala 80%, Solberg 78%, Neuville 73% - note some of these are skewed because of Rally2 (especially Latvala). Also his podium rate is 28% (Hirvonen for example has 42%) not stellar, but not bad.
- He adapted to a variety of cars over the years and kept the same pace.
- Don't know about his personality but he seems to be a nice guy so that helps keep good atmosphere in the team.
Indeed he hasn't had outright success if you count rally wins or title challenges but looking at other drivers that have been around in the past 10 years, if I was a team manager he would have been on my watch list almost constantly.
