President Biden on Friday announced his choice for U.S. ambassador to Germany, his first ambassadorship nomination to a Group of Seven (G-7) country.

The White House said in a press release unveiling a series of nominations for administration and ambassadorship roles that Biden had chosen Amy Gutmann, the current president of the University of Pennsylvania, to serve as the top diplomat in Berlin.

Gutmann, whose Jewish father fled Nazi Germany at the beginning of the Holocaust, would be the first woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to Germany if confirmed for the role.

According to a bio shared by the White House, Gutmann has previously worked at Princeton University as provost and faculty dean, as well as at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and at the University of Maryland.
