Flemming Rose Bio at Wikipedia

Rose is, of course, the editor who commissioned the Jyllands-Posten Prophet cartoons. The section of the article dealing with his life reads as follows:

Rose has a major in Russian language and literature from University of Copenhagen. From 1990 to 1996 he was the Moscow correspondent for the newspaper Berlingske Tidende. Between 1996 and 1999 he was the correspondent for the same newspaper in Washington, D.C.. In 1999 he became Moscow correspondent for the newspaper Jyllands-Posten and January 2005 the cultural editor of that paper (KulturWeekend).

There was evidently an editing war over this entry, with certain individuals inserting the assertion that he is Jewish and others demanding proof (not forthcoming) and removing it. The discussion thread makes very entertaining and instructive reading.
