LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline (Other OTC: GLAXF - news) 's former chief executive Andrew Witty and its one-time research head Moncef Slaoui both picked up new jobs in the biotech venture capital sector on Tuesday, following a route favoured by many ex-pharma executives.

Witty, who stepped down as head of Britain's biggest drugmaker in March, is joining U.S.-based Hatteras Venture Partners (IOB: 0QOQ.IL - news) , while Slaoui has signed up with European venture firm Medicxi, the companies said in separate statements.
