Would

“Yeah. So a couple of things, and we did note the investment with the Toronto office, which we're super excited about. We think Canada is a great opportunity for us within international in North America, and then I think you're spot on. Europe is the biggest growth opportunity for us outside of North America, from a scale standpoint. It is the biggest theater we have today. But I would tell you, I'm also very excited about what we see in Latin America, and I also think that the overall APAC opportunity, you know, we've been very sort of Australia-centric as most software companies are when they head into Asia Pac.“


This is a quote form the CEO on a company earning call. Is the bold would used correctly? If yes, what difference does it make in meaning when replacing it with ‘will’? Thank you in advance.
