Shiloah was born in Maoz Haim, a Kibbutz in northern Israel. Drafted to the army in 1977, he served in the Special Forces unit Sayeret Matkal. After completing his service, Shiloah obtained a BA in Economics & Management from Tel Aviv University, where he also achieved an MBA.

In 1995, Shiloah was appointed as the CEO of Kesher-Barel,[4][5] which later became McCann Erickson Israel (now part of McCann WorldGroup). Between the years 2009-2011 Shiloah sold his shares in the company to the global McCann Erickson Worldgroup.[citation needed]

Shiloah is the co-founder, major shareholder and chairman of The Time;[6] an investment company founded in 2009 focusing on young innovative technology startups in the areas of new media (T.I.M.E). The Time had invested in dozens of start-up companies in the new media market, during the last few years (two examples being MySiteApp and Getonic.[7])

In 2015, Channel 10, of which Shiloah was a minority shareholder, entered financial difficulties and Shiloah attempted to take full control of the broadcaster in return for taking on the existing debts of around NIS 200 million.[8] Shiloah's offer was rejected in favour of an offer by RGE.[9]

Shiloah is currently chairman of Silenseed, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company.[10]
